Maria lives with her 18-year-old sister, Caterina in a small apartment, tutors her at home, lets her out only for dance classes. Yet Maria sees no reason to hide her work as a prostitute from her sister. Men come in and out of the apartment constantly, and Caterina turns up the volume on her music to drown out the sounds from the next room. The film soon reveals that the sisters are in love with each other, a situation that cannot stand, but exactly what prompts the characters' behavior is rarely clear. Soon after Caterina's belated discovery of her heterosexuality, she is invited into the bedroom with Maria and a client.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Has a perverse fascination, despite some technical clumsiness and stiff thesping.
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Turns out, subtitles don't make soft-core any classier.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Ultimately, the film staggers under the weight of its pretensions, its plot spiraling into murky illegibility.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
fans of this venerable Eurotrash form will welcome any evidence that it's still alive and writhing lasciviously.
