5.0 out of 5 stars Sonja Braga at her best!, May 15, 2007

If you're a Sonja Braga fan as am I, you must see this movie! Sonja Braga was extremely sensual and erotically enticing as the titled character. Even covered in dirt/mud as first seen in this film you can't help but to be drawn to/seduced by her raw, earthy, sultry sexiness! This film should be redone on DVD. I'd pay a premium for and I'm sure I'm not alone. I don't even own a VCR any more. Amazon.com, get this film on DVD!!!!!

Anyone who has ever seen this movie knows why it needs to be released on dvd. Sonia Braga is so voluptuous and luscious that this movie sizzles from beginning to end. Mastroianni is good, too. COME ON-AMAZON, GET THIS ONE......
