Michael Ledo Sophia (Francesca Agostini) hoping to be a film star travels to Rome where she is forced to work for Manol (Michael Madsen) a pimp. She becomes one of Rome's Campfire Girls. The story then turns weird at the end.This is one of the worst films I have seen with Madsen and Trejo. The plot went nowhere. The film is mostly shot at night with Sophia being tested and confronting a number of fetishes. The dialogue wasn't great .Guide: F-bomb, sex, rape, minimum nudity, mostly from the back although I understand there may be versions with more nudity.
Katy_Scary The opening song is Son of Man by About Wayne. I have not heard a great tune like this since early Tool on N.I.N. I was immediately engaged by the young Sofia (Francesca Agostini) listening to great music while working in a nasty factory. The Best Line in the movie was from her adorable brother, "How could I live without you?" but it sounds better in his language with the accent.The beginning of this movie was great. I was on the fence when Michael Madsen's character started speaking but the movie continued to come back around and I was pleasantly surprised by the overall story.Mischa, Mischa, Mischa.... *sigh* I have always like Barton's acting skills. Barton was better than average in this movie but she needed some work on her accent. I'm still a fan.I think they were playing Mozart at the end and it was simultaneously inappropriate and perfect.I will always love this film for introducing me to the Music Artist About Wayne.
kosmasp If she answers I hope she does so in her regular voice. Her Romanian accent thing is not really working. Thankfully she is not the main star of this movie, though she might feel different about that. And only adds to the downfall she has taken. We are used to Danny Trejo playing in anything (and I'm not blaming him), even Michael Madsen, though he is a special case and only seems to "work" under Tarantino (no pun intended of course).The theme the movie has is a real problem, but the way it gets handled is poor to say the least. There are worse movies out there of course and there is a couple of neat moments this has, even though we never actually get into the head of the characters
perrycurtis This is so bad its almost funny.It has no story and involves someone being anally raped for no reason thats clear at all just for the sake of it. Mischa Barton has the funniest accent, she keeps slipping from Irish to Romanian to American. There is no explanation why there is not a single Italian in the whole film even though it is set in Rome.The fact Michael Madsen is in the film says a lot and is usually warning enough but its almost worth watching just to see how bad film making can be, I feel like its worth watching just for an understanding of how bad it can get. Violence for absolutely no reason, no back story in anyway. The person who gave this 8 stars must work for the production company.I am astounded how anyone could even watch this and please use this as a warning, do not waste any of your life on this.
