Review of The Song of the Scarlet Flower

I had to see this movie, since it's so old, but still in color! It's also the first film in the Swedish cinemascope format; AgaScope. But I have to say I want the time I spent on this movie, back. Of course, as always in old movies, the colors are beautiful, but that doesn't help since the dialogue is old fashioned with words and expressions that no one in Sweden would use today. The most annoying part, though, are the endless amount of could-be-nude-scenes. A girl is taking her clothes of to swim across a river; but she hides behind a bush and hides her breasts with her arms. Then in another scene, a man tells a girl to take her clothes of, but he's so stunned about the fact that she actually does it, so he tells her to stop. I'm not saying that nudity could save an entire movie, but it would at least make it worth watching once. Now it's just an old, crappy movie with ridiculous characters and a poorly written screenplay.
