Review of Joy

Joy (1983)
Total form over substance
7 September 2000
Sergio Bergonzelli is best known for his extremely odd Giallo effort "In The Folds of The Flesh" and it's mind numbing 'form over substance' style. Joy is no exception when it comes to the latter!

The film itself revolves around supermodel, Joy (Claudia Udy) and her search for sexual fulfilment. This of course entails roaming the earth in search of that elusively perfect man.

This movie is a very easy viewer indeed, what with Claudia Udy naked for most of the film. Plus Bergonzelli really knows how to execute all the pre-requisites of a good film. The acting was a bit bland at times and well there's not much in the way of plot or story. It does on the other hand have some of the most amazing sets and camera work... which is where Bergonzelli really shines!
