Bambola (also spelled Bámbola) is a 1996 erotic melodrama film written and directed by Bigas Luna.

Cast

Controversy

Because of the many scenes of sexual abuse, the film was R-rated, something that caused the ire of lead actress Valeria Marini, who asserted that she had been promised the cut of the three more explicit scenes and a ban for just people under 14 years.[1] The actress therefore sued the producer Marco Poccioni demanding the immediate withdrawal of the film, but her request was eventually rejected.[2]

Reception

The film received extremely negative criticism. Film critic Morando Morandini referred to it as "the most silly, foolish and amateurish film of Bigas Luna",[3] while Paolo Mereghetti was even tougher, saying he "never have come out of a movie theater with a much deeper discomfort."[4]
