Femmina

A beautiful wife of good social standing falls into a flaming passion with a young man. Sooner than expected, she will be unable to terminate the liaison. It will follows that her husband is not wanted. And you can be sure she's not considering divorce as a solution. Written by master screenwriter Giuseppe Patroni Griffi, "Femmina" ("Woman") tells a story claiming to explore vortex of the "amour fou", but proving to be only an unplausible and boring softcore. Stage actress Monica Guerritore - at her nth movie of such kind - does her utmost in several sexual intercourses with her young lover, but she acts like a jazz musician who fails to reach flareup. No intensity. No rapture. No carnality. But most of the fails of this beat-the-air movie falls on Director Giuseppe Ferlito, who showed unable to be wide awake at the wheel. Reasons why Mrs Guerritore chooses such roles remain an impenetrable mystery.

First of all the performance are just great, especially by the lead actress, she portrays all the emotions perfectly.

The film starts of well..we learn by their interaction that all is not well. The husband is too busy with 'work', and not only does he neglects his wife,he also belittles her. One day while being out, she confronts a young man and visibly he ignites a spark in her. From then on the film starts to crumble, the transition from casual fling to an obsessive affair is not developed properly. While their chemistry is great, we don't understand why they're so heavily obsessed with each other. We also don't see any angst from them either.

Erotic scenes are really well done, if story was developed properly they would have been even more effective.

Thank you for reading, and please ignore grammatical mistakes if any, as English is not my first language..cheers.
