Dirty Girls

Mid - 60s Eroticism at its best.
I guess I should start off with this is NOT pornography or obscene. The plot ? Simple enough: It follows the adventures of two (beautiful) ladies, who are prostitues..Or actully, they resemble more along the lines of "call girls".

One is from Paris, the other from Munich. The film itself is actully beautiful to look at - The city lights of these areas have never looked so exotic. The black & white photography just adds to the mood, along with the (dated) 60s soft jazz sound - BUT IT WORKS !

As far as the sex/nudity goes, there is nothing here that can't be shown later at night on your local PBS station. There are flashes of nudity here & there, but its not exploitive. It shows women mostly as bodies of ART, and not sex objects. The sex in the film is very subtle, but I seem to think that with an imagination, it becomes VERY erotic.

This film is actully very tender and deals with issues that COULD be obscene, but in this film - they are...

2 stories about "working girls"
Well, being a ratherly "old" movie I guess that certain scenes for the time were "obscene", but compared to the movie "the Image" (our first Metzger film) it really sucks! The backround noise is terrible! When they are not talking you have to turn down the volume due to the "backround shhhhhhh noise".
The movie is about the "life stories" of two working girls (one in Paris and one in Munich), it gives a pretty good inside view of their "daily routines".
Don't expect any hardcore scenes! The best you get is 3 pairs of "boobies", but for the time I guess that was already very "daring"!
THe stories are ok.... if you like the 60's..

I really enjoyed this! It presents women as people, not objects. I am a film noir fan, so I liked the subtle ways the story unfolded.
