Yes, I freely confess that I initially took a look at the trailer for this one because according to my very limited understanding of Spanish the title translates roughly to The Naked Years, which means that if my mother is reading this right now then she is very disappointed in me. Sorry, mom. And, yes, that poster makes it look like a very bad Euro knock off of Sex In The City, a franchise that I won't touch with a ten foot pole despite the lady-friend's ongoing obsession with it. But there's a lot more to this one than that.
Directed by the duo of Dunia Ayaso and Félix Sabroso the film charts the changing film industry in Spain during the late 1970's, specifically tracking the rise of the sexploitation film and the women who starred in them. If you want to be even more specific, it looks as though the plot here revolves largely around the nunsploitation phenomenon. And, honestly, this looks like an exceptionally well done treatment of the material, well shot, well cast and treating these films as a reflection of the societal changes at the time rather than a chance to simply spread some skin on the screen. Here's the synopsis from sales outfit Coach 14:
Madrid, 1975. Three actresses in their thirties start making films after some roles in Cabaret and commercials. Lina, Sandra and Eva have different backgrounds but all three are attractive women who work exclusively in films ?S-rated?, a phenomenon that occurred in Spain during the transition to democracy, between the years 1976 and 1983, in a country arousing to freedom, but still with a lot of repression and underdevelopment. These women flagged the modernization of a country, but were surrounded by men who somehow used them in exchange for a fleeting success.
