MAID IN SWEDEN

 

So far I've only managed to see Christina Lindberg in two movies. First I saw her in the entertaining revenge flick "Thriller" and then in the erotic drama "Anita" where she played a nymphomaniac searching for a reason why she can't be satisfied. After watching "Maid in Sweden" I've come to the conclusion that Christina Lindberg is quite possibly one of the sexiest women to ever walk the face of the Earth not fit to step among mere mortals like myself. Cower before her Megan Fox and Kim Kardashian you bargain basement bitches. Her doe eyes, round face, gentle voice, and absolutely phenomenal (repeat: phenomenal) body makes her a truly angelic sexual figure in film. Looking at her is like looking at the Arc of the Covenant. You can't look directly at her or your face may melt off. "Maid in Sweden" is the film debut of Lindberg who plays Inga, a young conservative girl who still lives with a family unaware of the free wheeling lifestyle her big sister lives in the city. Anxious to get away and live with her for a while, Inga takes a train ride in to a new world where she learns of her sister's relationship with her live-in boyfriend and watches new depths of relationships occur as they're never bashful about their sexuality or their drug habits, and this entices her more than she realizes. While asleep director Wolman submits us to a series of unusual dreams that explore Inga's own sexual awakening where she plays victim to a gang bang, a voyeur to a couple making love in a hall, and a potential girl on girl with a stranger who helps her out in a bar.

Once she awakens from these nightmares that are dreadful but otherwise exciting, Inga realizes she needs to re-evaluate her sexuality and bring her gorgeous body to good use in an attempt to see what life has in store for her and her pleasures. Lindberg is a fine actress who manages to transform quite well from this simple young girl unaware of her potential for pleasures, to a young woman whose own experience with her big sister acts as a form of coming of age where she begins to notice that her shapely and incredible body can serve as a tool for settling the fire burning within her.  

Which is demonstrated when she awakens from her dreams only to masturbate in the buff to the sounds of her sister and her boyfriend making love in the next room joyfully. While her sister has come to terms with her own body, she is also stuck in the notion that her sister Inga is a little girl in spite of her curves and obvious sex appeal to both sexes, and the two have to come to terms with it. As is the case with most of the films from the late sixties to early seventies, Wolman enlists some psychedelic visuals and chaotic special effects to indicate Inga's own manifesting cravings with kaleidoscopic lensing, dark and dreary sex scenes a la "Rosemary's Baby," and an upbeat score that changes tone whenever Inga is on the verge of a sexual adventure.

Sadly around the last half hour once Inga falls for a man who ravages her in a scene that begins as rape but ends in passionate love making, the film takes a nosedive in to camp as we're a witness to endless montages of Inga having clean wholesome fun with the man who just tore in to her sexually while lame music about innocence plays in the background that's so on the nose about Inga's obvious deflowering, I was annoyed and wanted to see Inga's sexscapades continue on without this bloke accompanying her everywhere. What's also made incredibly obvious is the lack of satisfaction Inga is having will eventually be fulfilled by her sister Greta's boyfriend Esten and lo and behold by the time the climax rolls around, the two are in the tub making love and all out war erupts when Greta discovers them. In the end Inga has seen what sexual satisfaction can entail for better and for worse and she can now decide if it's for her or not. While the second act falters quite a bit, "Maid in Sweden" is a pretty entertaining exploitation title worth watching for Lindberg's unbridled beauty.

It's shocking Christina Lindberg is not more universally known as she is so ridiculously hot she'd give an erection to even a woman. "Maid in Sweden" is another fine exploitation flick putting Lindberg's sexuality on display with a rather enticing little coming of age tale.

  • I may be an atheist, but Christina is possible proof there is a higher power at work.
  • Christina's real name is Britt Christina Marinette Lindberg. And she's Swedish. Let that sink in for a while.
  • Imagine waking up to this.
