Description: Three students Juanita, Jean and Hans bored with their life in Paris go to Brazil in search of sexual adventures.
Las Chicas de Copacabana is a sexual coming age film from maverick filmmaker Jess Franco. Visually the film is bland when compared to Franco’s most inspired films. To Franco’s credit he does know how to photograph women. The shots of women on the beach and close up of their assets are this films strongest asset.
The film is also padded with footage from the carnival in Brazil. The weak plot which is essentially just a series of sexual encounters that offers no advancement in the plot. The films main location looks like the same hotel used in the Jess Franco film Cuanto Cobra Un Espia?.
To be honest this aint among Franco’s best but who cares anyawy, and Michelle Hermet was a lovely French babe, pitty she didn’t “acted” together with Romay, my guess is that they used the film as an excuse to take a few days off in Rio de Janeiro.
