4/10
An interesting idea, but the execution did not really convince me

"I Miss Sonia Henie" (a tribute to a Norwegian actress and athlete) is a Yugoslavian Serbian-language live action short film from the early 1970s, so this one had its 45th anniversary last year already. Actually, it is a collection of snippets really made by several filmmakers with the most known one being Tinto Brass I guess. It was the task by every filmmaker to include the phrase that is also the film's title somehow in their story. The problem I had with the outcome that it all seems to center around this sentence and it should have been that the sentence is just a side aspect of a convincing story. So yeah, this is what I hoped for, but sadly not what it is. The nudity and even a sex scene are not a big problem and make sense in the overall context I guess. But the story-telling just never reached a level where I was curious about what would happen next. As a consequence, I have to give this little admittedly very bizarre movie a thumbs-down. Not recommended.
