Lamberto Bava
Plot
The gorgeous young actress Ginette auditions for the lead role in the first long feature film of the controversial artist Alex Sherba and she's almost immediately submitted to a long series of harassing questions and indecent proposals.
Sinekatalog’s take
A young actress auditioning for a controversial artist's first feature is subjected to harassing questions and humiliation. Bava's thriller aims at psychological menace and unease. An option for fans of Italian genre films with a nasty streak.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
