Review of Lifesize

Lifesize (1974)
6/10
Drags on too long

Warning: Spoilers
A clever idea of a bored orthodentist getting himself a sex doll from Japan to satisfy his needs both emotionally and sexually. The first part of the movie is intruiging as the ideas are fleshed out and there are some funny scenes involving his mother and a fashion shop manager - it's the first time I see a manager dressed in a see-through blouse.

After the so-called wedding the film starts to lose focus and has nowhere to go and the final scenes at a kind Christmas party seem to belong to a different movie and are just boring. There's not much more to add to the original concept and the padding just becomes tiresome.

Nevertheless a novel idea with a typical Picolli role of the Seventies, the bored bourgeoisie man who seeks alternatives.
