My Mother's Friend

1975 · 95 min

A breezy, silly Italian sex comedy that coasts on sunlit villa settings, skimpy outfits and harmless innuendo rather than real laughs.

Directed by
Mauro Ivaldi
Genres
Comedy
Overview
A woman, who has just separated from her husband, comes to stay at the villa of the friend. The friend is away (and throughout the whole movie only appears as a voice on the phone), but the woman's goofy son (who looks like he just escaped from the Monkees) is staying there too. The son falls for her, not surprisingly since she always dresses in skimpy miniskirts or bikinis, and rarely closes the door when she is changing clothes or showering.
How it feels
Light, absurd, satirical and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About
Coming-of-age, sexuality, love, family
Content
Strong sexual content. Mild language. No violence or gore.
