Maid in Sweden (1971)

//

Inga (Christina Lindberg) meets a gratuitously predatory lesbian (Wivian Öiangen).

One of Maid in Sweden‘s writers uses the pseudonym “Mike Hunt”. That should tell you everything you need to know about the quality of this film, but since I’m supposed to be offering reviews and commentary (it says so right in the title):

Naïve 16-year-old Inga (Christina Lindberg) goes to stay with her sister, Greta (Monica Ekman), and Greta’s loutish stoner boyfriend, Carsten (Krister Ekman), in Stockholm. Carsten mocks Inga’s innocent country ways, and she’s set up on a date with failed artist (and lout) Björn (Leif Naeslund) who basically rapes her into falling in love with him, continuing a trend from the last Lindberg movie I reviewed. Then Carsten does the same thing. And there’s your plot.

As you can tell by the fake moustache, Ingrid (Christina Lindberg) stepped into the wrong cab.

Any time I sit down to watch a film for review, there’s a risk I’ll sit there ninety minutes later staring at an blank notebook page and nothing interesting to say about the film. Usually, I just move on to the next film, but I thought I’d make an exception for Journey to Japan, just to see if I can find anything to say about it that isn’t either boring or obvious. Let’s see.

Lena (Christina Lindberg) being blackmailed by Helge (Heinz Hopf)

Christina Lindberg first made a name for herself in her native Sweden as a nude model, and parlayed that notoriety into an acting career that included a starring turn in the seminal Swedish exploitation film, Thriller – En grym film, and quite a bit of soft porn.

Madeleine (Christina Lindberg) knows the importance of colour coordinating your eye patch.

Madeleine (Christina Lindberg) knows the importance of colour coordinating your eye patch.

Madeleine (Christina Lindberg) is mute since being raped as a child. One day, she leaves the family farm and follows a man who seemingly can’t stop talking to the city. As you might’ve guessed, it doesn’t end well. The man, Tony (Heinz Hopf), is a pimp who forces Madeleine into prostitution and heroin addiction. After at first refusing, Madeleine soon has her mind changed by a scalpel to the eye. Despite the steady heroin supply, Madeleine doesn’t very much like prostitution, and sets out to get her revenge on Tony and the tricks.
