“The best thing about u0026quot;Anitau0026quot; is that is supposed to work within the sexploitation genre, and it is actually a subtle and insightful social critique -well, at least in the first sixty minutes. To someone whou0026#39;s looking for crude, hardcore sex scenes (myself included), this movie is may be disappointing, but for a feminist researcher the movieu0026#39;s angle points out and contextualizes patriarchy and domination as main causes of social u0026quot;ilness.u0026quot; Just watch the perspective of the movie, and youu0026#39;ll see a u0026quot;lylja-for-everu0026quot; for the seventies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn addition, the movie suggests an interesting development of the relationship between the psychology student/psychoanalyst/u0026#39;doctoru0026#39; and his patient Anita. At one point, you can see the parallel between the authoritarian/ disengaged father and the psychoanalyst, and both of them are exercising power over the nymphomaniac character. However, Hendrix becomes involved in the story (he hangs on the door where the full human contact-I mean the orgasm- takes place), and we get a sweaty non-convincing highly idealized ending.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI would watch this movie again to see: 1. the construction of anitau0026#39;s character as an outcast 2. the whole symbolism behind the young studentu0026#39;s actions: feeding her, putting the band aides on, offering her a community where she is actually defended 3. the dysfunctional family 4. the sad scenes of sex that reminds me how the porn industry is using my fantasies. but hey, I kinda like this, though…”
