After stunning most of the European continent with her shapely figure in Dog Days in 1970, Christina Lindberg soon became Sweden’s biggest export (or exports, depending on how you look at that). Why, even America managed to release her next big feature (Maid In Sweden) the same year it premiered in her native country (something that is still unheard of to this day; we tend to let foreign films sit on the shelf before we release them — that, or they take the slow boat over here).
A few years later, Christina would achieve grindhouse immortality in the cult classic Thriller: A Cruel Picture (aka They Call Her One Eye) as a vengeance-seeking mute girl who had been forced into a life of prostitution. But, long before Thriller: A Cruel Picture, sandwiched directly in between Dog Days and Maid In Sweden, there’s another Christina jigglefest entitled Exposed.
Plot? Oh, I’m sure it’s there somewhere… lemme see… Lena (Lindberg) is a young girl who made the regretful decision of posing nude for some slimeball named Helge (Heinz Hopf). Lena’s towhead boyfriend Jan doesn’t approve, but he’s willing to help her try to get the photos back from Helge so that Lena can get on with her life (and her bizarre daydreams). Convincing Helge to give the photos up, however, may be a bigger chore than they had expected, since the creepy S&M party host has some twisted joys on his mind. There’s also a lot of nudity. That’s about it, really.
Anyone looking for the same kind of merciless exploitation we would later see in Thriller: A Cruel Picture or hoping to get a thrill from the raw sensuality featured in Maid In Sweden may be disappointed with Exposed as there really isn’t much going for it other than the oft-nude Lindberg (and a few nude co-stars). The movie’s story is amateurish at best; the director can’t seem to make up his mind as to what’s going on; the acting is pretty casual; and… oh, who am I kidding? It’s a Swedish nudie flick, for Christ’s sake! Ogle the boobies and enjoy, kids!
