Melissa P.

good movie. shipping and packing well done. thank you

thank you

This film is just like the book: nothing new to offer, and a little short in length. There are plenty of movies out there like this one. What saves this film is the actress who plays the main character and the one who plays the grandmother are both excellent. Oh, and if you're looking for explicit nudity, you'll only find a few topless scenes. Worth a watch, but not ownership.

ok

I bought this DVD, but they are not originals, instead they are manual copies. Mine does not work at all and my return date expired, so in the end, I have paid for nothing. Do not buy the ITEM.

I'm going to speak about the movie itself, because I haven't bought the DVD (yet), it happened to be on Crackle, so I watched it. I did enjoy this movie, on several levels. I enjoyed looking at this young girls life through -her- eyes... I enjoyed the depiction of her as the teenager I remember myself to be - over-brimming with hormones, passion, and always dreaming of my next kiss. But what I particularly enjoyed was this person's transformation, step by (sometimes jarring) step into the older, wiser teenager she becomes. Several other side plots conjoin with the main plot quite well - this movie is not fluff - its path definitely caries us along, and -not- predictably so. There are trials and tribulations along this girl's path to wisdom, and they are intermixed delightfully with bits of erotic direction-changing that was fun to watch. If you are looking for nudity, you will find a bit of it (although not enough in my opinion), but the most erotic scene in the movie (for me) didn't involve any, when she attempts to get a handsome 40-something man sexually interested, by tonguing her milkshake straw while at an outside cafe. The way she turns on the sexual tension like a light switch just defies gravity. I gave it four stars because the story and eroticism carried it, but I would have liked to see a bit more eroticism -and- nudity. But then again I drown my hamburgers in ketchup, so there you go.

There's likely to be renewed interest in this earlier 2005 film from Luca Guadagnino, but try as you might to find something that makes a viewing worthwhile, there's little here in Melissa P that indicates that this is a film by a director capable of making a film of the scale and ambition of the extraordinary I Am Love. Based on a bestselling account of a teenage girl's exploration of her sexuality from innocent infatuation through wild abandon to self-degradation, the material here is certainly controversial, but it feels wilfully so, and in reality never produces anything that is groundbreaking or insightful on the experience of growing up. Structured into four seasons, adopting a diary-entry point-of-view of a fifteen year-old girl, the content is appropriately juvenile, and never achieves anything like true authenticity in the increasingly absurd, clearly fantasised situations that Melissa undergoes with all the teenage boys looking like male models with their defined sculptured musculature. There's no sign at all here of the tremendous capability to explore intense inner emotions and psychological states that Guadagnino would later demonstrate in I Am Love, but really there's little call in the material for anything other than surface impressions and superficiality, and the director perhaps appropriately gives this its due with soft-core lighting and tastefully-shot nudity. The relationship between Melissa and her grandmother however - sensitively played by Geraldine Chaplin - is the only part of the film that has anything like a ring of truth in the story of Melissa P, or any recognisable situation that the viewer can engage with, and it is indeed beautifully handled. The UK DVD itself looks fine, with the original Italian soundtrack in Dolby Digital 5.1 and a number of dubs provided in other languages. Extras include a full length director's commentary (subtitled) and a standard EPK making-of. Although advertised on the cover, there are no deleted scenes.

How can this be advertised as "uncut" at 94 minutes, when IMDb lists its run time as 100 minutes, and a panned and scanned version sold by Amazon Deutchland is listed at 115 minutes?

主演がいい。美少女。吹き替えもハマってていい。 片想いの男性に処女を捧げたけど、そいつはクズ野郎であてつける為にセックスしまくるうちに、インランになっちゃう。愛する父親はシゴトで不在、敬愛する祖母は施設にいれられ、自分を理解しない母親と一緒にいることがヒロインをさらに追いこんでゆく。 期待のエッチシーンは日記への報告ばかり。だから、実際のエロシーンはほとんどなし（がっくり）。監督が成人指定になんないように気を使っているために、健全な青春物語になってしまいました。 まあ、これはこれでいいんですけど、でもさ〜〜、エロ告白してる日記をいちいち人目につくとこに置くなよなあ！！！

Attention, film bouleversant. L'interprétation de Maria Valverde dans le rôle de Melissa est d'une justesse émouvante. Le parcours de Melissa est dur et lui apprends la cruauté de la vie mais également à y faire face et à voir le monde d'un autre oeil. Grandir n'est pas facile quant on est une adolescente de 15 ans dont le père est absent et la mère ne voit rien des problèmes de sa fille. Le seul repère de Melissa étant sa grand-mère. Bien que certaines scènes peuvent choquer les plus jeunes, ce film mériterait d'être vu par les étudiants dans le cadre d'un cours sur la vie. Peut-être cela éviterait que des jeunes filles soient abusées durant leur adolescence. Un film beau, sincère et éducatif.

Se ve perfecta. Parece nueva y todo .....Para ser de segunda mano, quizas es algo caro, pero al verla no se ve por ningun lado que no sea nueva.

L'histoire d'une ado qui ne veut plus en être une, qui croit que c'est par le sexe et ses multiples facettes qu'elle va le devenir. Le film dans son histoire est bouleversant, mais bien loin du roman, il n'est interdit que aux moins de 12 ans. Je le conseille plus aux ados qu'aux adultes. Ils pourraient en débattre entre eux, afin de réaliser que le sexe à un certain age est une chose sèrieuse.

I was so disappointed with this film. Having read the book just before (which I understand now to be a mistake), I noticed everything that was left out and how the point was completely missed. Having a read a book- that was a clear (though somewhat fantastical) exploration of young sexuality, some of which was erotic, brazen and from the perspective of a girl that was fascinating and entirely sexual; while she took differing levels of control in sexual situations involving men - of different ages and backgrounds. Here I sit through nearly 2 hours of a dull girl who seemed incredibly innocent (inspite of her supposed diary entries) being abused and controlled by men. One example being the very strange apartment scene where the gentlemen attacks her with a whip. (this did not happen in the book-#? and what on earth was the director/producer thinking?) I do not like to sit through films in which innocent girls are abused over and over against their will.. it was awful. What on earth happened to the bright enigmatic sexual girl that wrote the book-? Where was the sex she enjoyed? Where was the strong girl that wore stockings and stilleto boots and told Daniele to 'f** off'. And why did she let them make such a hash of her book. How sad that the director took a ground-breaking brave novel and turned it into another film of a submissive abused by men. For shame.
