The world wanted Swedish cinema, and got nudity! Studio S serves up an uninhibited, sexy double bill featuring two of Sweden’s biggest export successes. ANN AND EVE was a major hit in the United States, grossing an impressive $20 million. FANNY HILL, a smash hit in Britain and continental Europe, earned more than $10 million internationally.
ANN AND EVE
A merciless settling of scores with film critics, in which Arne Mattsson deliberately clothes his contempt in pornography and provocation. Gio Petré plays Ann, a worldly critic who coldly and calculatingly draws the young, inexperienced Eve (Marie Liljedahl) into a dangerous game along the sun-scorched coast of the former Yugoslavia. The film is presented for the very first time in all its uncensored glory, without cuts or blurring. Newly restored by the Swedish Film Institute.
FANNY HILL
Young Fanny (Diana Kjaer) leaves the countryside and arrives in sun-drenched Stockholm, where she lands a summer job at a brothel. A product of its time, the film sought to capitalise on the international success of Dear John and I Am Curious (Yellow). Director Mac Ahlberg went on to direct sophisticated adult films such as Flossie and Bel Ami before pursuing a Hollywood career as a cinematographer on films including House and Beverly Hills Cop III. Newly restored by Studio S.
