The Highschool Girl, the Devil, and the Holywater

About This Movie

So, 'The Highschool Girl, the Devil, and the Holywater' is this 1979 gem directed by Nando Cicero that really captures that quirky Italian comedy vibe. It's an anthology, right? And each segment has its own flavor, from a guardian angel who falls for a dancer—kind of whimsical and innocent—to a cop who’s got this bizarre duty keeping tabs on an arrested transvestite. Then there’s a dental technician selling his soul, which is just absurd enough to make you chuckle, but also a bit dark, too. The pacing varies, but it’s all about that offbeat humor and some practical effects that give it a unique charm. The performances are playful, and you can really feel the era in the atmosphere. Definitely a distinctive watch.
