My Brilliant Friend (2018)
My Brilliant Friend (2018) is an Italian television series based on the novel of the same name by Elena Ferrante. The series follows the story of two young girls, Elena and Lila, as they grow up in a poor neighborhood in Naples, Italy. The series has been praised for its realistic portrayal of the struggles of growing up in a difficult environment and the complex relationships between the two girls.
One of the most powerful aspects of My Brilliant Friend is its exploration of sexuality. The series does not shy away from depicting the sexual awakening of the two girls as they come of age. Elena and Lila’s exploration of their own sexuality is portrayed in a sensitive and honest way, without any judgement or sensationalism.
The series also explores the complex relationship between Elena and Lila, and how their sexual awakening affects their friendship. As the girls explore their sexuality, they also explore their feelings for each other, and the series does an excellent job of depicting the complexities of their relationship.
My Brilliant Friend is a powerful and honest exploration of sexuality and the complexities of growing up. It is a must-watch for anyone interested in exploring the subject of sexuality in a thoughtful and sensitive way.
Talking about crushes, romance, kissing and more.
There is a middle-aged man kisses and touches a teenage girl unexpectedly.
There is a subplot where a much older man (the father of a schoolmate) tries to have sex with Elena. He passionately kisses her and rubs her genital area. This is a little disturbing to watch, as Elena is shown to be 15 years old and is clearly shocked by the man's behaviour.
In season 2 there is also thouch of the genitals, a rape scene and a sex scene between an older man and a young girl.
In season 2, a rape scene. We see the girl's breasts. Pretty graphic and disturbing
There is a scene in season 1 where lila is in a bathtub. Lenù is washing her and at a certain point she stands up. Breasts and pubic region are clearly visible. The scene lasts for about 15 seconds.
