sorry for the mistakes!
Europeans are so
filthy! Wherever you go they do something obscene. Also in Florence,
Pisa and Venice. To say that there is the Master of big boobs, the
great Russ Meyer, who realizes a kind of Mondo Movie, at the end of his
"nudie cutie" period.
Not an attempt to stigmatize European culture but a tribute to a
continent that the American director knew well (for being in Germany
during World War II) and above all a tribute, as always, to female
shapes.
It should be said, however, that unlike the poster announcing a "Nudity
Galore", here, we see only tits (and road signs). Sometimes dancing
sometimes on the move, shown with the usual quick, ironic eye of the
great Russ Meyer.
"Europe in the Raw" is a general test for the most ambitious and famous
"Mondo Topless" of 1965, which has scenes from this and other films.
"Europe in the Raw" is not a memorable film; however, it’s nice
and entertains the audience.
The basic idea is very simple. There is a cameraman who we never see in
the face that puts a camera inside a leather bag and begins to turn
Europe taking various hot situations and explaining how things work.
The tour for the old continent touches several cities that over the
years have not lost their fame. There is Paris of course, there is
Amsterdam and her prostitutes, Brussels, Berlin, Copenhagen, Nice,
Hamburg with the legendary St.Pauli neighborhood and more. There is
also Italy with Florence, Venice, Portofino and Pisa, on whose tower we
also hear an explanation of the work done to support it. What do these
Italian cities do in a movie so hard to say, but perhaps Meyer wanted
to give a touch of warmth by balancing the north-central Europe with
the South.
Actually shot in part in the cities mentioned and partly in the US as
“abroad” set is a movie that is nicer than "Mondo Topless"
thanks to a lighter aura. In any case, those always talking about tits
and Meyer know how to do it well.
