"Maladolescenza" also known as "Puppy Love" starring Eva Ionesca. A boy (Martin Loeb) and girl (Lara Wendel) Things get complicated when another girl (Eva Ionesco) enters the picture, our young hero drawn to this beauty and his old friend now a bit ignored. As the tension between the three builds, cruel games are used to express complex emotions; might someone get hurt before it is all over? An outstanding, realistic look at this developmental stage which does not shy away from the passions and confusions of puberty. The three actors are the complete cast; the movie was filmed mostly in a picturesque forest of beauty, this has got to be one of (not only) the most talked about movie on the internet.

This movie was at the time it was made just as controversial as it is today, why? Underage nude actors and that is it, not one other reason other than pure greed $$$, in other words it was as close to underage porn as one could get as a producer to make big bucks and it did, is my opinion.

Xuxa Meneghel the Brazilian Beauty (known as the South American Madonna) in a modern day retelling of Cinderella with musical numbers (including some South American hip-hop); the paquitas wearing white sheer gowns, also starring Julia Lemmertz, Duda Little, and comedian Sergio Mallandro as a truly uncharming Prince Charming; original Brazilian, a must have, Xuxa is a beauty and all the paquitas are just as fair, this is a must have. The plot is exactly as I would expect starring the beauty Xuxa, simple, sexy and entertaining, child like innocence, care free at times type of movie and is refreshing without too much silly willy, of course I love this movie and would recommend anyone to own it.

"Desideria" Starring Stefania Sandrelli, Lara Wendel, Klaus Löwitsch. Italian language, with no English subtitles is this version I viewed. A heavy set, 15-year-old girl named Desideria (Lara Wendel) is ridiculed by her adoptive mother to the point where she attempts suicide. While recovering in the hospital, Desideria (Lara Wendel) loses weight as well as her love and respect for her mommy. Upon her release Desideria exacts her revenge on those who have hurt her. Lara bares it all in this very rare European cult classic. A must have for fans of Lara Wendel, it will also appeal to fans of Eva Ionesco and David Hamilton style of movies. This was emotional for me because I to was overweight and I think Lara's acting brought these feeling I felt to the surface so the eye could grasp that feeling. I won't mention Lara Wendel is built like a brick out house nor will I mention I think she is beautiful in looks nude or clothed as well as being a fine actress. My humble opinion is one should own this movie if you can find it, I truly hope this movie will do a come back so it will be available for another generation to enjoy, nuff said.

Charlotte Forever is not fantastic it is Super Fantastic in the way it draws you in, not mentioning Charlotte's nude scene alone is enough reason to purchase this movie, he nude scene is above Super Fantastic in the eyes of this simple viewer, I may not be an expert as some but I do buy movies and watch them with my mind and eyes open. I have watched this movie 3 times and it is great simple as that, not a 10 but great. There is deep disturbing feelings from Charlotte's dad Serge Gainsbourg as he played out his role, it appeared to me he did not have to act at all to be in the state he acted out, also seemed to me this simple viewer, he took over the scene's a number of times but Charlotte being a true actress did not give in and acted as good if not better than any 15 year old I have seen to date. Get this movie by all means! That's all I have to say bout that.
