Why it matters
In this film, Varzi portrays a character that is both sophisticated and uninhibited. Her performance is central to the film’s attempt to bridge the gap between "high art" (referencing Courbet and the Venetian school of painting) and "low art" (the voyeuristic impulses of erotic cinema).
