Bolero

1984 · 105 min

A languid, campy romp of exotic encounters and soft-focus sensuality, more silly than steamy, best watched with low expectations.

Overview: Follows the tale of a young woman’s sexual awakening and subsequent journey around the world in pursuit of her ideal lover. Encounters include an Arabian sheik and a Spanish bullfighter. Her friend and butler accompany her and help to arrange her couplings.
How it feels: Campy, romantic, absurd and light. Slow-burning and fine in the background.
About: Love, identity, freedom, sexuality
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild violence, gore and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
