"Leidenschaftliche Blümchen" or "Boarding School" is a West German German-language film from 1978, so this one will have its 40th anniversary soon. It stars the really young Nastassja Kinski in one of her earliest roles as a school girl with some naughty fantasies. But she is not the only one. Her female buddies are just as bad and they decide to launch a business, which allows the school boys to see the girls naked if they pay enough money and if they really pay enough money, even engage in sexual activities. So prostitution is a major plot reference here. but it is not displayed as something evil, rather as something that belongs to the girls' sexual awakenings for some bizarre reason. The film was directed by André Farwagi, a French filmmaker, and Paul Nicholas wrote the screenplay based on Laura Black's novel. I have not read the book, so I cannot say if it is as much garbage, but this film here surely is. The actors are all pretty bad and the way they talk about their business was supposed to seem innocent and inexperienced, but due to the lack of range, it just looks all very amateurish. Klaus Kinski's daughter does not stand out at all and as this is one of her most known German films, I cannot say I got curious about any of her other works. These 100 minutes were extremely underwhelming and are not better than most of the 1970's sex comedies from Germany, Austria and Switzerland with the major difference that this film here does take itself so seriously on many occasions that it feels pretty cringeworthy. You'd better stay away or don't say I haven't warned you.
I would say I wasted my money purchasing this movie, but it was only $2.88. You get what you pay for. That's no lie. Of course, they place Natassja Kinski on the cover to lure you into checking it out. Well, she's the star and she is beautiful as always. But that's not saying anything at all. This is a low, low- (almost no-) budget comedy that will knock you out better than the best anasthetia money can buy. Even the nudity can't save it. The film even starts with a shot of a topless female. Besides, there isn't THAT much nudity (it nowhere near reaches the lengths of softcore porn) and it's SOOOOOO boring that nothing--and I mean NOTHING--can possibly save it. I would write a couple of paragraphs about how much I hate this movie, but I don't like to pick on extremely low-grade movies that are pretty much...supposed to be bad. This is hardly a movie; it's just a collection of poorly photographed images. Film should've been re-titled BORED-ING SCHOOL.My score: 2 (out of 10)
this movie was horrible. i cannot believe i wasted 100 minutes on THIS. my time would have been better spent if i had stared at the wall. i watch a lot of movies and have never seen anything this bad. im sorry for the producer, but im sure he REALLY needed the money if he chose to make this piece of garbage. save your money. if you want to see a movie like this, i suggest you record one and a half hours of trash rotting and watch that. itll be better than the movie
Only reason why this film got released by Atlantic pictures in 1982 is because young Kinski was in the film. Other than that, this film would've been lost in the drive-in market (I think it played in 1977 as PRETTY SCHOOL GIRLS in some US market in the 70's). Little laugh and bad dubbing, but it's good to see a early performance from two beautiful actresses Kinski and Udenio (who is in many U.S. films).
