New Showbiz Analysis

Operating within the realm of European exploitation cinema, the film prioritizes provocative genre clichés over deep social commentary. While it effectively challenges sexual taboos and traditional educational hierarchies, it lacks the complexity needed for broader progressive impact. Its strength lies in focusing on female physical liberation and rejecting institutional morality. However, the narrow demographic scope and lack of diverse casting limit its overall social reach.

Fair

Official Synopsis

Comedy about some schoolgirls being taught anatomy (of the sexual nature) by the sexually frustrated Barbara Moose. In bed at nighttime the girls practice their daily lessons on each other and on any unsuspecting visitors of the night. When they're not in class they enjoy frolicking around outside (naked most of the time!) experiencing the joys of nature.
