Description: In rural Dalarna, a legend surrounding an old horn that is kept in a building states that the instrument was brought along by the vikings on their travels. As they returned home, they would blow the horn, and the village women would come down to the beach to meet their men and make love. The farm girl Monika blows the horn and finds that it indeed causes the local women to get sexually aroused.

I must have heard of this movie all my life, but never before seen it. It’s a classic in the sense of an old novel that everybody knows of but never has read, it seems. Now I think I understand why it has been spoken of so much and why it’s a ‘classic’. I find it quite endearing, and when I watched it my heart quickened its pace and my stomach tingled.
If people I have read complain about acting skills, maybe they have watched it as were they watching a Carry On-movie featuring trained actors, because the acting, naïve and untrained as it is, is just wonderful where it counts the most, and funny when it doesn’t.
The absence of intrusive and stupid sound track music during love scenes works particularly well here, adding to a feeling of utmost realism (when delivered lines don’t convey a feeling of a high-school play). The folkish music played in-between, adds to the rustic and traditional feel, apparently in an attempt to make the best of the specifics of a foreign culture with what little means one has.
Sarno, who apparently was displeased with having to conform to the hard action times of the late seventies, seems to have sort of denounced the film, maybe? But he brings a warm and loving atmosphere to interacting characters in this movie as in most of them, as few other directors have managed to do.
Good commentary track, too, despite it being in Swenglish (it’s not difficult to understand).
And I see the whole thing is still available for purchase on BD, which is good. I think it’s a good thing to support distributors for keeping interesting movie history, fringe or ‘classic’, alive by buying a physical copy when available!
Is there any chance of finding Joe Sarno’s 1966 The Naked Fog?

Always love a commentary for a sex flick.
