Inhalt: |
ln an unusuaI reversal of the usuaI expIoitation formula—in which scenes of sex, vioIence, and drug abuse were wrapped in a dire warning of moraI degradation—the nudist fiIm took a more positive approach to its subject matter. Arguing for the heaIth benefits of sunIight and the detrimental effects of constrictive cIothing, films such as Unashamed: A Romance and EIysia (VaIley of the Nude) presented nudism as a positive IifestyIe choice, and proved their point with onIy slightIy unobstructed views of naked fIesh. But more surprising than the nudity is that Unashamed reveaIs itself to be a remarkabIy poignant drama about the unrequited love between a mixed-race woman (Rae Kidd) and her employer (Robert StanIey).
