Montenegro Reviews

Don't stereotype this film.
This is one of those movies that treads the thin line between softcore porn and legitimate comedy/drama. I only say that, because the few times I've watched it was on an adult cable channel. I think it's the latter. While it does have a good deal of sexual content (tastefully done), it's more interesting as a story. It's a wonderful tale of a bored housewife and her journey of discovery. A perfect blend of comedy, drama, farce, pathos, and erotica. In Dutch with English subtitles. (Stay away from the dubbed version.)

Delightful but different. R and Lively. Anspach superb.
The movie begins with a family that seems to be duller than Dagwood & Blonde. Everyone seems safe. But Anspach, the lovely wife has a lust and yearning for excitement or at least a change of pace. She meets a neat guy who is part of gypsy clan. Somehow she wanders away from home and gets into a group of gypsies. The man's name is Montenegro. The vagabonds live a carefree life of abandon. Lots of love, lust and some women dancing in the buff for their own joy and group satisfaction. Anspach "tries" to resist Montenegro and their passion sizzles the screen. She adapts to the new life and seems more in it than to be a part of a family with a cockhold (dullard) of a husband. The end puzzled me in a way. Does she return for good or?

I found the movie much more lively and enjoyable than the reviews. At the same time, this is NOT porn. The movie shows contrasting cultures (staid vs gypsy) and Anspach won my heart as well as admiration for her beauty and acting. I note a new version is coming out. The 81 edition is excellent. I am reluctant to part with this VHS. It is worth watching two-four times at intervals and when in different moods. Each time one comes away livelier and also seeing new perspectives.
