MALADOLESCENZA (1977)

The acting and editing in MALADOLESCENZA are bad. Whatever the message is supposed to be, it's not conveyed. If it's a warning of the bad things teenagers do, it's exageratedly unrealistic and it's contradicted by the erotic way in which the sex scenes (with underage actors) are shown. One could defend that and say it's art, but what about the shot of the girl's vagina right after peeing? Is that supposed to be sexy? Now, if the message is something else, the viewer probably won't want to find out. There's almost no plot, so it's very boring. I know there are women (regardless of their age) who crawl back to the men they love no matter how much they hurt them, but the way in which LAURA reacts to FABRIZIO's abuses is ridiculous! Not only is the movie mean-spirited without a real goal; there's a point where LAURA's screams of suffering become annoying. I hated myself for thinking that about a victim but it's the movie's fault for making them so repetitive!
