Even extensive nudity and sexual situations didn't make the hammy acting in this period drama acceptable to its opening night audience in Sweden, and they walked out in large numbers early on in the film. However, this adaptation of Emile Zola's 19th-century classic novel "Nana," about the sexual liaisons of a French courtesan, features an attractive and even humorous performance by the well-proportioned actress Anna Gael. While not particularly pornographic, this film earned an "X" rating for its American release.
