Excellent movie, but NOT porn
toodark0013 November 2008
Warning: Spoilers
CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS Well.....I cannot believe I am the only one with a copy of this movie, seeing as how I only recorded it off Showtime in the 1980's, while I was an adolescent boy, wanting to see naked girls LOL. I recorded in on long play VHS, and just transferred it to DVD. I thought that the transfer was bad, but it turns out that the movie was shot grainy and static(y). It only adds to the realism of the movie though, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's a fluke I even have it, as I had gotten rid of dozens of old taped Showtime shows at one point, and saved this one for some reason. Even being young, I must have seen something in it, besides the nudity. My copy is called "Liz," has English speaking with no subtitles, and does have the lesbian/orgy scene at the end, just before she goes home, and then to the old man in the woods. I would classify this as a Hard "R" rating, more than an X rating. I do know that Showtime, at the time, did not edit their movies, and this one was always on in the middle of the night. I have no clue whatsoever if any other Harder or softer versions exist. I don't care, because I like mine just the way it is.

As an adult, and having seen countless hours of real porn, this movie is a keeper. Great acting, realism, no XXX shots with people posing while having sex, etc..... Everyone is natural too, and most importantly, this movie was written from a female's point of view, and even dabbles in Philosophy a bit. "You can't change what you are...." Great stuff.

Erotic, vivid Eastman colour story
christopherbooth20 October 2006
I saw this film at a four studio complex in BLACKPOOL England in or around 1977-78.It appeared under the title in this country "Private Pleasures" It was NOT censored and contained the final famous lesbian scene which included the then sex siren Mary Millington,(one of the few reasons i remember it)Very little information appears on any search engine I have visited apart from cast and credits. On visiting Swedish film directors (37) and Swedish film producers (2) sites neither gentleman Paul Gerber the director or Goran Sjostedt is even mentioned indeed i cant find any other details about video copies posters photographs, it would appear to have disappeared off the planet in any shape or form. Being so long ago I apologise for the non-information but you appear to have not one single review of this particular film. My curiosity was aroused by going on the late lamented Miss Millingtons website, and being reminded of her appearance in the last 10 minutes of the film, which you can"t actually find on her site! If you would like to ask me questions on it and have more information than i can glean from the internet I would be only too pleased to respond.

Excellent soft-core about a woman's fantasies
tkarlin18 February 2000
I liked this film because it was from a woman's point of view and it was not violent. Her thoughts are done in voice-over. The scenes and images are tasteful, and reflect a more realistic view of what would please a woman (as opposed to most porn films, full of borderline abuse and a complete disregard for the physical realities of women's arousal needs.)

It is subtitled, but there is not a lot of dialog.

a well done movie
cmi112 November 2004
Would like to see this again but can not find it. Seen a few years ago on cable but for some unknown reason, it hasn't been shown since. Would like a copy if anyone has one or information on when it will be on in America again. This move was made in a European country with sub-titles and released with different names in different countries,i.e. "Ceremony". Made in 1976 it was done with a good talent pool and looked at the inner thoughts of the female mind.I believe Mr.Green captured what he was searching for when he done this movie,don't understand why it isn't on VHS or DVD. Once again if anyone has any ideas where we can get this movie, I know a few people who would like to have it in their collection.

simply awesome!
rsosaanchondo7 April 2014
what cai i say about this great erotic movie, Isaw it for the first time On Showtime (AFTERHOURS) it was the programming part that play it in this channel, I don't know if this is the unrated version , but i like it very much It really catch me from the very first minute the opening scene its quite .. delicouosss i like Elona performance in all her scenes , but my favorite is when a man grab her and make love in a boat in the middle of the day , very hot scene! i was only 14 years old when i first saw it , but i looked forward tho see it one more time at least.... and the lesbian scene in the end its quite exciting too I recommend this movie a lot, if you don't have the opportunity of see it you are missing a great erotic film. Elona is a simply delicious woman ever

Thanks for sharing your opinion about it !

Woman's fantasy before she marries
tkarlinsky20 November 2003
I am looking for a copy of this film. I had it once and lost it. It is one of the few single-x-rated films that is from the woman's point of view. It is not simply for the pleasure of men, but for her. She does not have silicone breasts, as far as I can tell. There are several names for this film: Liz, Ceremony, I Lust Och Nod, Private Pleasures. The last is from Britain and is the censored version, apparently.
