Review

A sexually confused German girl wishes desperately for a coming-of-age encounter during her family’s summer holiday in the softcore drama Julia (1974). Subtitled “Innocence Once Removed,” Sigi Rothemund’s film portrays the highs and lows of a wealthy and miserable upper-crust family whose sexual confusions would be enough to make Freud spin in his grave. From the daughter who desperately desires to lose her virginity by any means necessary to the mistress who hops between the bed of the girl’s father and brother, the family is a crucible of sexual dysfunction. On the plus side, it means that all members are constantly dressing down. Sylvia Kristel plays the most lustful of the clan, constantly peeling off her swim suit and tennis whites at the first mention of sex.
