Italian Erotic Drama with Eleonora GIORGI and Bekim FEHMIU

"Ready for anything" is what the translation of the Italian film title should actually mean. And indeed, the protagonist of this erotic drama by Giorgio STEGANI is ready to take on a lot.

The slightly older Marco (Bekim FEHMIU) is established professionally, but is very bored in his marriage (Laura De MARCHI as his wife). One day he meets the inexperienced student Anna (Eleonora GIORGI) in the park. Fascinated by her submissiveness, Marco embarks on an affair with the young woman. He continues to test the limits of the pretty student, who willingly lets it happen to her. But one day Anna unexpectedly goes to Venice...

Very beautifully filmed sex scenes that are also intended to appear slightly provocative! The Sarajevo-born Bekim FEHMIU (1936-2010) and the beautiful Eleonora GIORGI (*1953) cut an excellent figure in mattress sports. The result is not just an all-too-ordinary soft sex comedy, the characters are too finely drawn for that. But the film isn't entirely convincing as a character study. But it often seems like an overly long advertisement for knitted clothes from Benetton.

For fans of 1970s Italian cinema!

Italian cinema has deeply influenced world cinema through its socially conscious realism and modernist experimentation, but it also flourished in popular genres like peplum (sword & sandal), giallo thrillers, and broad comedies. Its narratives often weave together politics, contemporary social change, class consciousness, and family dynamics, balancing artistic ambition with entertainment that resonated widely.
