n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

I went into this figuring I was in for sleazy trashy perhaps barely watchable junk, especially as it starts off with a bunch of teenage girls in their shared room in their undies acting silly and being giggly, but was pleasantly surprised to find a real movie here. It has a much better title as "The Passion Flower Hotel" and holds up as a nice coming-of-age romance.The director does a great job of taking the viewer through a variety of feelings empathizing with the variety of characters expressing what it is to be a young person dealing with entering the world of sex and romance. Curiosity and desire, excitement and anticipation, nervousness and anxiousness, embarrassment and shame, joy and pleasure, sexuality and romance; all very genuine, never over-dramatized.And it's fun and funny!

"Leidenschaftliche Blümchen" or "Boarding School" is a West German German-language film from 1978, so this one will have its 40th anniversary soon. It stars the really young Nastassja Kinski in one of her earliest roles as a school girl with some naughty fantasies. But she is not the only one. Her female buddies are just as bad and they decide to launch a business, which allows the school boys to see the girls naked if they pay enough money and if they really pay enough money, even engage in sexual activities. So prostitution is a major plot reference here. but it is not displayed as something evil, rather as something that belongs to the girls' sexual awakenings for some bizarre reason. The film was directed by André Farwagi, a French filmmaker, and Paul Nicholas wrote the screenplay based on Laura Black's novel. I have not read the book, so I cannot say if it is as much garbage, but this film here surely is. The actors are all pretty bad and the way they talk about their business was supposed to seem innocent and inexperienced, but due to the lack of range, it just looks all very amateurish. Klaus Kinski's daughter does not stand out at all and as this is one of her most known German films, I cannot say I got curious about any of her other works. These 100 minutes were extremely underwhelming and are not better than most of the 1970's sex comedies from Germany, Austria and Switzerland with the major difference that this film here does take itself so seriously on many occasions that it feels pretty cringeworthy. You'd better stay away or don't say I haven't warned you.

In category: 6 stars. The script you know of the other reviews. The film looks like a teen comedy, but actually is a nymphsploitation. Attention to the month of birth of the top 5 actresses and the month of release of the film. We have then: Fabiana Udenio 13 years old, Marion Kracht 15 y.o., Carolin Ohrner 16 yo, Nastassja Kinski 17yo and 18yo Véronique Delbourg. There are brief scenes showing breasts of them, except of Fabiana. There are also many scenes with undergarments, very sexy. As has been said, the film has a soft photography and reminds David Hamilton movies. It's an adaptation of the novel The Passion Flower Hotel, written by a British novelist Roger Longrigg under the pseudonym Rosalind Erskine. Moreover, the film is tasteful and well watchable, without falling into coarseness.

I love this movie! I love it because it's such an excellent vehicle for Nastassja Kinski, Fabiana Udenio, and several other nubile young women, including Véronique Delbourg! Nastassja and Véronique would have been 19 at the time this movie was produced, Fabiana only 14, which may be why the two former appeared nude, but Fabiana did not.My favorite sequence in this movie was a striptease contest held in the attic of the boarding school. Nastassja's character, a student and the ring leader of the other girls who had decided to become prostitutes, hosted this event for some of the boys from an all male boarding school.Several of the girls performed stripteases during this competition. They employed a variety of gimmicks. One girl belly danced. Another performed a swan-like ballet. Fabiana stripped out of an alligator costume (but only down to a bikini) to the tune of "See Ya Later, Alligator!" My favorite, however, was performed by Véronique Delbourg, who did a dance with a banana skirt, similar to Josephine Baker's. She passed out some of these bananas, but not enough to appear bottomless!Nastassja did not compete, but she did treat one of the boys to a private, nude performance after the show. This is the most erotic footage of her I have ever seen!If you find Nastassja Kinski or Fabiana Udenio attractive, and would like to see them and other beautiful actresses at their sexiest, this is a "must see"!
