After being curious about this movie for several years (due to the trailer being uploaded on YouTube), I finally got to see this Swedish soft-porn film on Netflix. It concerns Inga (Kristina Lindberg)-a young, naive woman-visiting her adult sister's apartment one week. This sister lives with her boyfriend and they like to fool around a lot. Also, Inga has some sex fantasies when first spending the night due to her overhearing them since her time with her boyfriend back home is sooo boring. So when this sister's boyfriend mentions his friend, Bjorn, Inga's intrigued...All right, I'll just say while I like the early '70s music and the ways they had Ms. Lindberg constantly disrobe, the rapes that happened to her-despite her seeming to enjoy them-were a bit disturbing especially when the second was with her sister's boyfriend. And the dialogue and performances are just for the birds. But if your curious about this sort of thing, Maid in Sweden is at least worth a look.

'Maid in Sweden' is a soft porn. starring Christina Lindberg. For those old enough to remember, it evokes nice memories about the love & sex morals of the early seventies.Although 'Maid in Sweden' offers us a coherent story, one cannot overlook its downright lousy acting - in particular that of Lindberg herself. Its shooting could also have been done better, even by the standards of 1971.My DVD also offers a recent 10 minutes-interview with 57-year old Christina Lindberg. Although she answers her questions politely enough, one feels that Lindberg has left the nude shooting in her young life behind her a long ago ago already.

Made in Sweden (1971) ** 1/2 (out of 4) USA/Sweden production has Christina Lindberg in her first major acting role. She plays Inga, a 16-year-old cherry who lives on a farm in the middle of no where. She received a letter from her older sister in the big city who invites her over for a week and this is where she discovers sex. This film has been advertised as a sexploitation movie but it actually tries to be a lot more serious than just some skin flick. That's not to say there isn't any nudity in the picture because that would be an outright lie since Lindberg takes her clothes off any chance she gets. She certainly has one of the most beautiful bodies in this genre so seeing her naked isn't a bad thing and I'm sure it's the main reason people will be drawn to the film. She also manages to give a pretty good performance. This is the third film I've seen with her and I'm always amazed at how natural an actress she is. She pulls the part of the shy, naive girl off very well and she's quite believable in the role of a young girl. Monica Ekman and Krister Ekman play her sister and the sister's boyfriend. Inga gets exposed to sexual pleasure during a rape scene, which I'm sure many will object to. She's being raped but half way through she realizes that sex is something good and I'm sure some might see this as sexist or even worse but I don't think any deep messages where trying to be send with the scene. It's strange that the screenplay would take itself so seriously when it's main purpose was to get men into the theater to see naked women. The coming of age story really doesn't work too well because at the heart this is still a sexploitation movie.

Inga, 16, travels to the city to visit her sister Greta. The walls of Greta's apartment are thin and soon Inga hears Greta and her boyfriend, Carsten making love. Inga's arousal and subsequent journey into adulthood are beautifully and tastefully depicted. The film is lit with exquisite subtlety and edited with calm good taste. Maid in Sweden was one of the first adult films to play in mainstream theaters in the early seventies, and as a sixteen year old myself at the time, this film had particular relevance for me. Upon seeing the film again it still stands the test of time.
