It's sweet to see there is a reverent documentary made about one certain body part of human beign. They say that clitoris is the only part of human body which exists only for pleasure. It's a privilege of women which has made many men, i guess more jealous than anything. Even male-dominated science at its most powerful times was frightened of clitoris because they weren't able to find any "practical" function for it. Of course it's a well-known fact that the sexuality of woman was a big taboo for a long long time. Clitoris particularly seems to have saved the secrets of its sensitivity to these days. That's not necessarily a bad thing. This open-minded film seems to been made for educational needs, and all the time there's a big danger that the tender thing is going to be trivialized. But the film survives well, we deal with the essence of life here. ***½
