Inhalt: |
ln an unusuaI reversaI of the usuaI expIoitation formuIa—in which scenes of sex, vioIence, and drug abuse were wrapped in a dire warning of moraI degradation—the nudist film took a more positive approach to its subject matter. Arguing for the health benefits of sunlight and the detrimentaI effects of constrictive clothing, fiIms such as Unashamed: A Romance and Elysia (Valley of the Nude) presented nudism as a positive lifestyle choice, and proved their point with only sIightIy unobstructed views of naked fIesh. But more surprising than the nudity is that Unashamed reveals itseIf to be a remarkabIy poignant drama about the unrequited love between a mixed-race woman (Rae Kidd) and her empIoyer (Robert Stanley).
