4.0 out of 5 stars
A terrific 60's erotic time capsule, December 15, 2001
By A Customer
Its plot is now a cliche and a staple of late night Cinemax movies.But there was a time when cinema was trying to seriously explore adult themes. And in the 1960's one of the most important of these was "I,a Woman".
The plot is quite simple. A naive woman, raised in a Christian family decides to break away and explore her sexuality by having sex with as many men as possible. What makes it special is the almost quaint quality the movie projects. And, of course, the presence of a an amazingly beautiful and special actress called Essy Persson. She projects pure sensuality but is able to convey the heartbreak behind living a life of such carefree sexuality. I recommend this movie. Don't expect a lot of sex and nudity (in fact, it will probably carry a soft-R rating today) but it does contain some great acting by Persson and a truly special sense of 1960's sexual freedom.

High School lust, July 8, 2009
This review is from: I, a Woman [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Essy Persson, the personification of a High School Student's lust, and
dreams of conquest. or at least that is what i dreamed of when i was in
high school. i first became aware of this movie, when i was 17, after
seeing an add for it in my local newspaper. having the luck of looking
older than i really was, i went into manhattan to see this film at one of
the "adult" film theatres. the scenes of ms Persson, half-nude or fully
naked stayed with me for a long time. having a copy of this film, brings
back all those memories of lust, i had and sometimes still have for a
beautiful actress.

"Erotic" - I don't think so!, March 10, 2001
Perhaps I'm missing the point but I failed to see how this film could be classed as an erotic masterpiece. Firstly it was dubbed which takes the romance out of anything and secondly it was actually quite boring.
I hope that the real plot and character development was lost in the translation, I would have much preferred it to have been subtitled.
One to avoid I'm afraid. Sorry.
