Description

LANGUAGE OF LOVE (1969) was apparently quite ground-breaking for its day, basically the Scandinavian answer to Matt Cimber’s MAN & WIFE and the first film to present explicit sex onscreen in Sweden. However, in contrast to its more prurient American cousin, LANGUAGE OF LOVE truly seems to have been made by folks who believed in what they were doing, resulting in a film that’s 98% dialogue, 2% sex, and, in this reviewer’s opinion, ungodly boring. The same team returns for this follow-up, though thankfully they seem to have figured out the formula for success in the interim, cutting down on gum-flapping and expanding the earlier film’s vignette structure into a more diverse and interesting group of people.
