I never understood why Baywatch was so popular in Europe. Don't people walk around naked on beaches there? Maybe people in swimwear was a nice change.
Year of the Jellyfish is a surprisingly dreary French movie about nude and semi-nude French women vacationers. It was popular in France in its day. Seeing it in movie form was probably better than having to walk around on a beach in the sun and the heat.
Come to think of it, I didn't like The Sun Also Rises because it was about people hanging around on vacation. The stakes seemed really low.
An eighteen-year-old has been impregnated by a middle-aged family friend. Her mother is sleeping with a guy who gets girls for rich men. They lounge around on the beach and take their clothes off all the time.
It does pick up at the end.
Might make a good double feature with Death in Venice or Mr Hulot's Holiday depending on your mood.
