This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Dreadfully Boring

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

DESIDERANDO GIULIA is intensely graphic, melodramatic, quite violent, intense and eerie—not at all idyllic or satiric –a strikingly original and uncompromising, uncanny erotic drama—and truly better than most of anything else; it was the first Italian erotica that I have seen, and perhaps the best, and certainly the most intensely original, violently crazy. Mrs. Grandi is utterly fabulous, gorgeously young and depraved, destructive ,cruel, the slum, popular version of the femme fatal—shockingly vulgar, extremely convincing as a bitch—another performance of womanish force, evil, malice, vulgarity, cruelty, the same very true combo of a dominatrix' force, and forced submission, and wild independence and _instinctuality—the role to be seen in MIRANDA as well. This shameless girl was 27 when she undressed in Desiderando Giulia (1985)—she looked slightly mellower ,didn't she? GIULIA is, artistically, the most interesting and firmly handled Italian erotica.

A young man falls in love with extra-liberated Giulia (who is no-one else but Serena Grandi, a legend in erotic cinema). Their relationship becomes very passionate, but Giulia has no limits in her sexual fantasies and games. Poor guy, will soon discover he'll have to pay a price for Giulia. He'll have to put up with all her strange and pervert desires, until of course he reaches his limits. Beautifully photographed, erotic movie. I highly recommend it to all fans of erotic cinema.
