Blue Jeans (1975 film)

Blue Jeans is a 1975 Italian drama film directed by Mario Imperoli. The film is a controversial example of the subgenre known as commedia sexy all'italiana (sexy comedy Italian style), dealing with themes of adolescent sexuality and societal attitudes towards virginity.

The story revolves around Daniela (played by Gloria Guida), a young woman preparing to graduate from high school, and the social pressures surrounding her perceived virginity. She faces unwanted advances from various men and experiences conflicting emotions as she navigates the expectations of her peers and family.

Blue Jeans is notable for its explicit content and its depiction of the sexual liberation movement in 1970s Italy. The film's portrayal of youth and its frank discussion of sexual topics led to both commercial success and criticism. It is considered a product of its time and reflects the shifting cultural landscape of Italy during that period.

The film features a soundtrack of popular Italian music from the era. Gloria Guida, in her role as Daniela, became a prominent figure in Italian cinema following the film's release.
