A Road Movie That Goes Nowhere...
by S Fullmer (Illinois)
Despite the speedy opening credits sequence that promise all sorts of fun, "Girl On A Motorcycle" immediately slows to an art house crawl and keeps that pace throughout the entire film. Straddling "Lady Chatterly's Lover" and "Easy Rider", it's a European psychedelic road movie which ultimately plays as a quirky, but flawed period piece.
Marianne Faithful (yes, Mick Jagger's old girlfriend) plays Rebecca, a newlywed who ditches her nebbish husband Raymond (Roger Mutton) in favor of a handsome, but cold lover Daniel (Alain Delon). She dons her Barbarella-like leather jump suit and revs down the highway as she recalls in flashbacks her experiences in and out of bed with Daniel, which all end up being distractingly psychedelic (and woefully dated). This was probably radical behavior back then, but now seem largely tame by today's standards.
In between the endless shots of Faithful daydreaming on her hog, there is some truly gorgeous camera work. But the weight of the film is placed squarely on the slim shoulders of Faithful, and despite her alluring looks and stunning body, her presence can't quite carry the film as it plods along to it's thudding end.
The DVD quality is below average, but watchable; not much cash was put into restoration. The extras are average: the trailer is more entertaining than the film, giving an adrenalized vision of what might have been, as well as commentary from the director.
"Girl On A Motorcycle" is so mixed up as to what it wants to be (Star vehicle? Symbolist art house film? Free spirited feminist tome?) it never quite delivers the goods. What could have been a wild Russ Meyer-like ride through the swinging sixties is weighed down by it own pretensions.
5/5
Ignore the other review...........
by A. Salgado (San Diego)
This is a beautiful artistic film,definitely for those who appreciate vintage sixties films.Very rare marianne faithful movie,there is another version by anchor bay but has always been really expensive glad to see it has finally been re-issued.The Artwork is a lot better to,unlike the cheesy anchor bay cover,otherwise i highly recommend this film.
1/5
Like Ingesting Exhaust Fumes
by David Baldwin (Philadelphia,PA USA)
What a borefest! Lucky me! I'm the first to review this bilge. Shame on me for being lured to this dreck. My reasons were two-fold. I was intrigued by the Stones connection of Marianne Faithfull. Secondly, I was enticed by the flick's alternate title, "Naked Under Leather". This reminds me of a Skinemax flick without the eroticism. Doesn't even arouse goose pimples. Doesn't work on a camp level or any other for that matter. It's just plain bad.
