Linda
According to this film, Linda landed at Funchal airport, one of the
most dangerous in the world, before it became Cristiano Ronaldo
Airport. If you wonder who Linda is and why her name gives the title to
this work by Jess Franco from 1981, you should know that we are asking
too. But let's proceed quietly.
Franco once again takes us back to the world of strip clubs, opening
the film with an erotic show at the “Rio Bravo” that ends
in whipping and sex with the audience watching, ordering and drinking.
A good start can be said. By the genre I mean. “Linda”
continues with a purely sexploitation story of nastiness, blackmail and
of course sex. Indeed, sex, nastiness and blackmail.
The protagonist is a certain Betsy, played by Ursula Buchfellner, the
first German playmate in history, who we find engaged in bed, of
course, with Ron, the always dear Antonio Mayans. This makes Sheila
(Raquel Evans) very angry and frames Betsy, who works in a hotel,
accusing her of stealing $ 2,000 from a customer. Thus the blonde Betsy
ends up imprisoned and forced to perform at the "Rio Bravo".
What about Linda? We meet her in a flashback in a convent while she has
sex (what did you expect?) with her roommate. After that she, played by
Katja Bienert, arrives on the island and if you are thinking that she
save Betsy, who is her sister, you are wrong. She takes a stroll on the
island, meets Juan, and obviously has sex with him, while Betsy is
saved by Ron.
Everything happens and develops around a mass of scenes of complete and
non-integral nudes, which, in fact, entangle a story that does not
already shine on its own. Franco, needless to say, is in that period in
which he is better at using the zoom to highlight the bodies of the
always excellent protagonists than at giving us his best cinema
visions. It remains to be understood why this film is called Linda.
