For today's Hippie Hotties, let's go to France in 1967 to take a peak at a film that was pushing for sexual liberation. Let's get deep into Brigitte Bardot in Two Weeks in September.
I am admittedly being loose on this film to fit the theme. This is not nearly as acid-laced and far out as a lot of the hippie movies we have talked about, BUT its carefree views on a woman's sexual appetite made it very modern for its time. It belongs in the "free love" camp, as far as I'm concerned, so that is why we are talking about this sex kitten movie.
The film also has strong ties to counter-culture rockstars. Two songs were recorded in English for this movie with the band Joker's Wild which was David Gilmour's band before he joined Pink Floyd.
Now onto the plot! Brigitte Bardot plays a sweet French lady named Cecile. She is married and fairly content with her life until she comes across a younger man. This young buck sweeps her off her feet as she feels torn between her two lovers. She doesn't want to give either man up! She wonders if it is possible that she could keep them both around - a very modern concept!
Shockingly, for a Brigitte Bardot movie, she doesn't go that nude. She has one nude scene that focuses on her backside when she is laying down on her man in bed. Georgina Ward stars as Patricia and shows her cleavage when she smokes in her white bra, looking smoking hot in the process. You would think that a movie about desire and sex would have more sex.
Critics did not like this movie. Like at all. The Los Angeles Times said that this film was two hours wasted. Yikes. It was a flop in the box office and it has never received appreciation later in life. This could partially be because this sexy-sounding movie isn't even that sexy in comparison to Bardot's other films. Who could ever forget her bangin' body in Contempt?
Is Two Weeks in September worth a watch? If you like cool music and cool chicks, then yes. If you want to see Brigitte's boobs, then I suggest you go elsewhere. There are so many "elsewheres" to choose from, too. In the meantime, enjoy Bardot's bum in her single sex scene in the movie:
