Wonderful character development!
Too much of everything
Highly Overrated But Still Good
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
I enjoyed this movie so much! At first, it looked like just another Rollin flesh fest (not that that's a bad thing) but there's really no such thing. It starts off with overly dramatic narration from the lead woman and continues its aggressively comic-book style up until the end. The whole thing is a smart, sexy goof on film noir. I'm slightly surprised Rollin even bothered to give the characters names since they're only meant to be archetypes. The two girlfriends go off on a camping trip and stumble across what they think is an empty villa. So they break in and have hot, but bizarre sex involving a racking orgasm from nuzzling a hip bone. Seriously. This does contain some borderline hardcore shots but that's not Rollin's focus. He shows you how ridiculous this fantasy is. The proof? At the end of the sex scene, the camera sits outside the door. Monica rises, looking at the audience and, since the show's over, shuts the door on us. "Drugged by love" (I think that's what the script said), Jackie falls asleep and Monica realizes that someone else is in the house. Since it's a comic book, she sees Fred, a thug, and they have sex without much talk about it. Fred never once takes off his pants. Seriously! It's hilarious! It's not an oversight or bad filmmaking. It's on purpose. For all the gratuitous amounts of female nudity, we don't get even a glimpse of men's underwear. Jackie wakes up and finds her girlfriend having sex and...well...what they hay...it's France: let's have a manage a trois! w00t! Morning comes. The girls take off...to set up their tent and (it's implied) have more sex somewhere else. This is like Bunuel meets Goddard. It's aggressively and purposefully nonsensical. Finally, about a third of the way in, we get to the plot which concerns stolen jewels. Even this isn't really clear. Fred got the jewels for Béatrice who show up to retrieve them. But they're not there. Fred finds the girls and brings them back. Jackie gets convincingly caned. Monic gets away and...runs to a private eye. Not to the cops. How does she get there? Run? Hitch? A bus? It doesn't matter. This movie is all about getting to a pre-determined plot point and the hell with details. This is about deconstruction bordering on satire. Will the detective help Monica? Sure! Why not? Let's go! Off they go to the villa to find Jackie. The detective, like Scooby Doo, works pro bono, I guess, since payment never gets brought up. Naturally, they don't find her...specifically because 1) they only search half the house and not the half the bad guys are in and 2) you cannot figure out the layout of the house. It's like the tents in the Harry Potter books - the space just kind of shows up as needed. The good guys find the bad guys. Battle ensues - Monica v. Béatrice mano a mona and the detective and his helper with guns. The ensuing slapstick rivals Mack Sennet. Continuity gets thrown right out the window with some amazing editing. People seem to teleport from place to place moved only via editing. . I won't spoil the ending because I shouldn't If you're a Rollin fan then you know what to expect. If you don't, you still might not get it but you WILL get a lot of nudity and that will make up for not understanding the mechanics of it.
I hunt down horror but I also dig exploitation and grindhouse or drive-in flicks. By doing that you are immediately linked to the French director Jean Rollin. Jean's flicks are best known for two things, they are really bad and secondly they contain a lot of nudity. And this here is no exception. The strange thing about this flick is that Jean directed it under his porn name Michel Gentil. Why he did this with this flick is for me a strange thing because it doesn't contain explicit sex. His best known porn was Phantasmes (Once Upon A Virgin (1975)). Even the Castel twins, which he used a lot, were indulged and even they performed oral sex with one guy. But Jeunes Filles Impudiques was the first flick were Jean used his pseudonym. It was also the first flick were he worked together with Joelle Coeur, an actress that delivered Jean's best flicks. But this flick, as bad as it was also became a cult hit in the US as Schoolgirl Hitchhikers. It even stated Sex kittens who stop at nothing.But it is really a typical Rollin's flick. The script doesn't make any sense, but what do make sense is that again, he used a lot of nudity. You are just 10 minutes into the flick before you will have bushy vagina's. But never you will see some explicit scene's or even some pussies. So even as he used his pseudonym it isn't a porn flick. What it do have is as I said a script were nothing is explained and were we see stupid things like being captured just by sitting in a chair, when the hitchhikers go to another part the victims staid in their seats, not even tied up. Or when the two girls attend to stay at an abandoned house when suddenly a stranger enters one of the girls immediately makes love to him but afterwards he asks, who are you and what are you doing here! The reel itself is full of scratches and the inserts of close-ups were shot with another color temperature. I may even say that it is so bad that, yes you can guess it, it even becomes good. It is up to now available everywhere as an ode to Jean Rollin who died in 2010 but I guess it will disappear soon as an OOP.And for the horror fans, yes, they do torture one of the girls with a whip and they do use a pincer to crush some nipples but it's so badly done and don't think that the erotic scene's will give you a warm feeling, the girls exaggerate with every touch of their body, but at the end of the day, it's Jean Rollin, do I need to say more?Gore 0/5 Nudity 3,5/5 Effects 0/5 Story 1/5 Comedy 0/5
Two young girls travel the country side and spend some time in a secluded and seemingly unoccupied house. When some people show up they get mixed up with some torture and stolen jewels.Odd film seems to be a porno film with the sex cut out. Reasonably well acted with a good looking cast this is an off beat little "thriller" that isn't really much of anything. its not bad, but it isn't really worth bothering with on its own (I got this part of a 20 film DVD set and as part of that the film was worth trying but had I picked it up on its own I would have been rather upset) 4 out of 10. If you don't spend any money on it
Schoolgirl Hitchhikers (1973) ** (out of 4) Jean Rollin directs this crime film with a touch of lesbians and sex. Two young girls hitchhiking through the country stop at a house, which they think is empty. Later that night, after some hot lesbian sex, they discover three people are also at the house and they turn out to be thieves missing some stolen jewelry and naturally they think the girls have stolen it. This isn't that bad of a film, although the English dubbing really doesn't do it any justice and the actual budget looks less than a McDonald's value meal. The two female leads are both very attractive so watching them nude half the running time doesn't hurt matters either.
