Blonde Animal

A young loving couple falls prey to an older husband and wife vacationing in Stockholm in search of sexual adventure. The characters spend much of their time strolling through the city, taking in its famous sights, going to discos — or engaging in sexual encounters, often still in their underwear, yet appearing to enjoy themselves to the fullest. An interesting case of Japanese censorship.

Anette Arvidsson also appeared in the Nikkatsu film Drops of Honey (1973), as well as in exploitation titles like Torgny Wickman’s Eva – the Outcast and Joe Sarno’s To Ingrid, My Love, Lisa (1968). Jim Steffe was later featured in Swedish erotic films, like Mac Ahlberg’s Second Coming of Eva (1974) and Justine & Juliette (1975), and in Torgny Wickman’s The Intruders (1974).

“Swedish Sin” was an international concept and Sweden could not make enough films to satisfy the Japanese market. So, the Japanese company Nikkatsu flew in a team to Sweden in 1971-1973 and made six films with the tag line “Sweden Poruno”, all Japanese fantasies about Swedish Sin, acted out by Swedish actors.

Klubb Super 8’s Blu-ray release of Nikkatsu’s newly restored Sweden Poruno films marks the first time these films have ever been made available outside of Japan.
