1968 · 1h 29m · R · Comedy / Drama · IMDB TMDB

When a high-school girl complains of her inability to reach sexual climax, her doctor suggests that she keep a diary of her sexual encounters. She does just that and soon finds herself caught up in a sexual merry-go-round that includes making a hardcore porno film in Sweden, an escapade with a German sadist and a lesbian encounter.

Quick Answer

What is Without a Stitch about?

Without a Stitch is a 1968 Danish comedy-drama film directed by Annelise Meineche about a high-school girl who, unable to reach sexual climax, follows her doctor's advice to keep a diary of her sexual experiences, leading to a series of provocative encounters.

Programmer's Pick

Only in late-'60s Denmark could teenage angst and medical malpractice collide with such gleeful abandon. Annelise Meineche directs Anne Grete Nissen through a romp that’s equal parts farce, diary confessional, and Scandinavian sex education. Expect nudity, satire, and not a stitch of subtlety.

Overview

Lillian, a Danish high-schooler, faces a problem bigger than flunking finals: she can't reach sexual climax. Seeking help, she consults a hands-on gynecologist whose unconventional advice—keep a diary of all sexual encounters—sets her down a wild new path. What begins as a private therapeutic exercise soon launches Lillian into an escalating series of sexual adventures, each more boundary-pushing than the last. From medical consultations to porn sets and exploratory relationships, she documents every step in her diary. This provocative blend of comedy and drama from 1968 Denmark is both a farcical take on sexual liberation and a cheeky send-up of professional advice gone awry.
