Swedish exploitation flick.
Anita is a girl of only teenage years, and while she has developed early physically, to a mature woman, she is emotionally struggling. Her relationship with her parents and her friends is very poor and she is regarded with contempt by the people around her, even by the men who so ruthlessly use her. During her troubles she meets Erik, a young psychology student. Gently and carefully he begins to dispel her psychological blocks. In the course of this treatment she reveals to him some of the shocking episodes of her previous experiences. Erik believes he has the solution to Anita’s problems: to let her move into an artist’s communal experiment, of which he is already a member. The common interest of this collective is largely the performing of classical music. Anita’s presence in the collective, however, is regarded by some of the other girls as highly provocative. Anita’s nymphomania is her means of protest against her parents, school, society and her own environment (her whole life situation). He therefore tries to get her to see clearly, and with some insight, the breadth of her psychological situation. Against the background of the intensive battle that Anita carries on with the self-destructive drives within her, grows the depth of feeling that bind her and Erik together. She is no longer simply a “case” for him. Anita discovers that Erik is the one man whom she both wants to, and can, remain with.
Stellan Skarsgård, who later established himself as a distinguished actor, was the unlikely male lead. In addition to his prolific acting resume, he was also prolific in producing offspring with credits of their own. He fathered eight children who have credits at IMDb. The most famous is probably Alexander, who played Vampire Eric in True Blood and also had major roles in Murderbot and Succession.
Decades later, Stellan Skarsgård admitted that he fell badly in love with his co-star Christina Lindberg during the filming of this movie – but that she was unattainable and out of his league.
Christina starred in many exploitation films in the early 70s, but she was unable to match Stellan’s success in mainstream films, and disappeared from the film world in 1982. She reappeared decades later as a character actress, and was still at it as recently as 2020.
Tough compe-tit-ion but she was the hottest actress of the 70s
