Sex Holiday

About This Movie

Sex Holiday is one of those quirky gems from the late '70s that exudes an odd charm. Set against the sun-drenched backdrop of the Alpilles, it follows the frolicking escapades of Angele and Mariette—played with a delightful blend of cheekiness by Daniele David and Carole Stresse. The film's humor is a bit risqué, with a pacing that feels leisurely yet punctuated by bursts of mischief involving the local rooster and the village's two innocent bystanders. It captures a carefree spirit of the era, and while the director remains a mystery, the performances certainly give it a unique flavor. The film's practical effects and comedic situations lend a certain authenticity that’s hard to replicate today. It’s certainly one to discuss among collectors for its unusual tone and the cultural snapshot it provides.

Sex Holiday is a fascinating piece of cinema, notable for its scarcity in physical formats. Originally released on VHS, collectors often struggle to find clean copies, making it a hidden treasure for those interested in late '70s comedies. Its offbeat humor and distinctive performances have garnered a modest but dedicated following among genre enthusiasts, sparking interest in any available restoration efforts or re-releases.
