everything you have heard about this movie is true.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Feminine movie of the month in the magazine Hot Video - April, 2012. The first scene where Giulia, in the freshness of a Lolita, everything of white dressed, refuses himself to his professor is an appetizer for my wet lips. My "mouillomètre" reaches its highlight, my pussy swells when this no suspicious is engaged in a top-grade standard, in a loft so welcoming as the sex burning with this scamp. The movie also has very exciting lesbian scenes. Very elaborate, unique scenario in its kind a movie to be advised for all the women and the men interested in the poetic, sensual and committed porn. Magnificent movie has credit note necessarily in its collection of DVD, so much it is rare from part its design and its ideology.

Thanks to Roy Stuart for this film and the wonderful scene with Tina Aumont. Tina is as usual amazing and what she says is very close with her private history. In my "Waiting for Tina" biography I am glad to write about this scene and its particular atmosphere. "Rome unique objet de mon ressentiment", but not only. It was a town of freedom and experiments on the late sixties and the early seventies and some film producers like Tinto Brass proved it. In Giulia, the music goes perfectly with the picture and the four male characters shown in "Giulia" are a good vision of human being : sex addiction, alibi of faith and brain work, taste for lie, lack of social projects. Maybe it would have been interested to see the evolution of "Giulia" in a second time.Jean Azarel

As a movie-freak I get to see perhaps almost as many movies as an official critic and, like a critic, I am always looking for The One, the film that stands out from the (vast) crowd and makes you think you haven't wasted any precious time in the watching. But more than that, the one that makes you feel a sense of gain, moving forward in some way, in your thinking or even in your perception of certain things. Only master film makers can make you feel like this, from Tarantino to Eastwood, from Jackson to Spielberg. Then of course you have the rogue directors, the rebels against convention who want to show you something different, not just for different's sake but because they are themselves motivated and inspired by things most people haven't yet approached or experienced. Bergman was such a director, as were the great Italians, Pasolini, Visconti and Fellini, and still we have Bertolucci. Now I find a New Yorker turned Parisian, whose work calls to mind some of these Masters, but through an influence that is subtle enough for it to be subconscious rather than a heavy handed copying of style and technique. Roy Stuart is a new comer to film but by no means to photography - erotic photography - the medium in which he has established himself thoroughly as a Master, admired and collected by large numbers of fans throughout the world. That he has turned from still photography to the moving kind is to our gain, as although young at the medium, he uses it with an almost equal mastery that he uses his still camera, and I don't believe anyone seeing his first film, Giulia, will doubt that he will even surpass in film what successes he has achieved in the world of the erotic photographer. What Roy Stuart achieves - for me - in this first film is the remarkable quality of eroticism throughout, even when the subject before us is not apparently erotic at all
.but it is, for him, and he passes that feeling on; it is for him present in the deepest Freudian sense, that is to say ever-present in all situations, in our very beings. And so after watching a work by Stuart one has the almost uncanny feeling that one has just been watching very close friends in their private moments
because what one has actually been watching is a glimpse into a part of oneself with which we haven't necessarily been too familiar before. All great films make us feel this in different ways or measures and we can now welcome Roy Stuart into the great arena of those who make us more aware - as well as entertaining us in the extreme.

Being a fan of the works of Tinto Brass the day would eventually come when I had to see "Giulia". I have read about this movie before, but against my will "Giulia" was the last one from 12 short movies from "Corti circuiti erotici" series (produced by T.Brass) that I happened to see. I started comparing "Giulia" with them all while watching, but somewhere on 20+ minute I realized that this movie stands alone. It is something more than "one of the 12". I was silent, I was in shock, I was amazed. "Oh, how beautiful this movie is! How lovely and again beautiful!". After that night "Giulia" was dominating in my thoughts for several days, and I decided to watch it again to see what does this movie want from me.Strange thing happened then.... The middle of the movie (when I was "captured" for the previous time) and the second half passed without that emotional uplift I experienced for the first time. But this time I was noticing interesting camera work here and there! Some reviews say that camera work is.
well
. not that good. Maybe, I'm not a professional. But I liked it. Emotional aspect worked again (from the different angle though). Did I face another side of the experience of watching "Giulia"? How many layers does this movie have? What should come next? I am excited again and will watch it again and again.Another fact, I believe, worth to be mentioned here to make for the movie. French portions of movie (most of it, in fact) are almost locked for my understanding, so I only got the idea of the action from movie itself and from all those reviews posted here and there. Nevertheless, I don't feel uncomfortable when watching, and the actors' play support my perception very well. So, am I speaking about feelings and emotions here again? Soundtrack, although with annoying stops in musical parts here and there, supports the movie in the best way. You're floating down the stream of movie when get in harmony with sounds not only music, but voices.Understanding this movie may be difficult, of course. Just like understanding women. Maybe one should not force himself or herself to understand it, but rather try to feel? And give another try later and see what comes then?
