[REL] The Nymph (1996)

The "nymph" in this story is the daughter of a prostitute and while I didn't find this particularly offensive, the whole idea of EVERYONE around the girl touching, talking about and staring at the girl's genitalia certainly did. I have no idea how old this girl actually was (physically, she looked about 13 or 14), but seeing her completely naked was very disconcerting--so much so that I turned off the film midway through it. Now I am sure that many out there might find my attitudes very "bourgeoise" and old fashioned (there's a lot of truth to this), but I also used to be a psychotherapist specializing in working with sexual abuse victims. In light of this, seeing an underage girl being this sexualized just seemed very inappropriate and sick. Now this ISN'T to say that the topic is a problem--just the way it was handled--there is definitely something to be said about a little discretion. My complaints aren't just a slam against director Lina Wertmüller's leftist bent (after all, I loved many of her other films). From what I saw, the film seemed pretty well made, but also excessively crass and disturbing. I just can't recommend it....IMDB

Well that IMDB reviewer Unintentionally sold it to me :)

Personally I would say the girl did look considerably older than her suggested age unless you caught her in just the right light, that said the scenes are very nice ;)

I was having seconds thoughts about releasing this, then I remembered David Hamilton's movies released here, and how old the girls (women) really were in those!!

I'VE SEE THE MOVIE LONG TIME AGO...NOTHING SPECIAL FOR ME...I'VE SEEN MORE BETTER MOVIES. LUCIA CARA WAS 17 AT THE TIME OF MOVIE BUT HER PLAY A ROLE OF 15YO. SO THIS IS MY OPINION ;)

Only 17, wow, she really was only a child where I come from then :)
Thats several years younger than Hamiltons stuff lol

Iv seen better films too, but thats not a reason to avoid posting!!
Hell, I think most of my non childhood related films are better than those on FLM in terms of enjoying a full length feature... where as here I am only in it for good scenes!!

She might have been 17, but to me she looks late twenties. :( At least Francesca Neri was believable as Lulu. Still downloading, so I might change my mind after seeing the entire movie.

Anyone got English subs?
