What Every Frenchwoman Wants Movie Review

Sultrous Italian bombshell Serena Grandi is the main female attraction in this French-Italian sex comedy set during World War I about a 15-year-old young man who impregnates three women, including his aunt, while all the men are away in the trenches. Don’t look for particularly stunning French beauties here; it’s mostly well-rounded, somewhat older women who awaken young Roger’s sexual interest, like maids, aunts, and farm girls.

Delivering this kind of erotic cinema remains largely in the exclusive domain of the French. Although directed by Italian Gianfranco Mingozzi, this largely follows this pattern, but at times it’s a bit of an odd mix of the more typically French high-brow erotic finesse and more low-brow, perhaps more typically Italian farce or slapstick, but altogether a surprisingly good film. It’s well made, shot with relatively large means, good production values, and period design; it’s actually a very handsome production.
