Svezia, inferno e paradiso (1968)

The film is made up essentially of nine sketches with a voice off narrator linking the scenes. Those sketches were described thus in the English poster devised for theatrical distribution in the UK and the USA: «The Love Cruise: A training trip for turned-on teens. The Bachelorette Party: A bride-to-be's last fling. The Public Library of Private Thrills: Government erotica. Moonlighting Nudes: Meter-maids by day - models at night. The Swap Shop: A trade-in deal for married couples only. The Polar Bare Club: The world's most beautiful snow-girls. Stockolm Strip: A haven for hippies, where everything is free. Communal for Survival: The radiation-proof city beneath a city. Stockolm's Students: A love generation that practices what it preaches.»
Don't miss the original song "Mah Ná Mah Ná" at 00:51:18, the one that later became the Muppets anthem :)

Like most mondo films this one is just laughably ridiculous. There's a scene where a man is arrested for beating up a kid who is trying to steal his car because car theft was supposedly perfectly okay in Sweden but violence wasn't. But even if anybody then or now believed that, wouldn't you have to wonder how the filmmakers manage to record this "spontaneous" scene from several different camera set-ups? Even more unconvincing is a scene where a group of marauding bikers "gang-rape" a young girl. You might ask why the Italian filmmakers didn't try to help the "victim" instead of doing various set-ups and close-ups of her during her ordeal. Of course, you might also notice that the "rape victim" here is actually Swedish sex star Marie Lilljedahl from Joe Sarno's "Inga" movies and Jess Franco's "Eugenie", so the better question might be why Italian filmmakers in this ridiculously staged scene didn't have the "bikers" tear the clothes off this Scandinavian lovely for the delectation of the audience (but I guess for that you have to check out "Eugenie" or "Inga"). Don't worry though, the movie does show plenty of naked, nubile Swedish girls including a nude photography session and whole gaggle of them running around bare-assed in the snow or sunbathing nude. (The narration claims Swedish women always sunbathe nude, yet almost all these girls have visible bikini lines).
