5.0 out of 5 starsClassic European "Easy Rider"
By Mr Happy on 13 July 2008
Format: DVD
I bought this un-cut in Germany, German packaging but English audio-track,a couple of extras but nothing much really to write about.
Imagine Diana Rigg joining "Easy Rider's" Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda for a ride across France and Germany and you will have a pretty good idea what "Girl on a Motorcycle" looks like. Made one year before "Easy Rider"; this is an amazing 1960's road movie that includes hip camera angles, groovy music, a leather suit and a Harley Super Glide.

While low-budget, it is not a thrown together "B" Movie but a thoughtful existential trip inside the mind of a flawed character who happens to be a sexy woman. On close examination, what appears to be yet another fruitless examination of the mysteries of female discontent is really a more expansive study of the human condition. Rebecca, the main character, illustrates life as a process of choosing between comfortable security and the need for freedom and excitement; a daily struggle with guilt and its consequent self-destructiveness, and the seductive lure of risk. Motivations familiar to almost all serious motorcycle riders.

In voice-over, Marianne Faithful gives us Rebecca's story in a series of flashbacks, with minimal scenes of conventional dialogue. Most of these work very well although there is a ski weekend flashback about midway through the film that looks more like a travel advertisement than a movie scene. And while much of Jack Cardiff's film is beautifully shot, the action sequences are somewhat clumsy looking and obviously low budget. And there is excessive reliance on the Elvis movie technique of projecting moving scenery(shot by the second unit) with the star pretending to be cruising along the road while actually stationary in the studio.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsNot what I was expecting.
By BW on 2 July 2011
Format: DVD
Girl on a motorcycle is one of those films that I remember from my childhood that every body talked about but I never got to see. At the time Marian Faithfull was every schoolboys dream, free and easy and at the heart of the permissive society.Her film was talked of in hushed tones behind the bike sheds and the older kids who had (or claimed to have)skived off school and gone to see it gained so many cool points that it was hard to look at them.
Since then I have grown older (if not up),society as a whole and it's attitudes have changed beyond recognition and Marian faithfull, now well into her sixties, is no longer the siren that she was. Indeed after reading her biography and all it's winging and claims of victimisation Its hard to have any regard for her at all.
When I decided to start collecting motorcycle related films from the forties, fifties, sixties and seventies Girl On A Motorcycle was one of the first on my list. I sent off for it, through amazon, and a couple of days later it arrived on the door mat. I had no idea what the film was about, I only new that, in the sixties , it was regarded as subversive and not a film for "nice" people.
I watched it two or three times trying to decide what I thought of it. On first viewing it was a dissapointment; long, boring, pretentious and predictable. I was surprised at how beautiful Marian Faithfull was at the time, something I had forgotten. But the plot reminded me of some of Anais Ninns novels; middle class soul searching, navel gazing, bed hopping with every body taking themselves far too seriously.
After watching it a second and third time, I'm starting to think that these aspects of the film that I had considered weaknesses are actually it's strong points.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsClassic movie from the close of the 60s.
By FAMOUS NAME VINE VOICE on 31 July 2008
Format: DVD
This was Marianne Faithfull's greatest moment when she starred in what was to become one of the great films to close the 1960s era in 'Girl On A Motorcycle'.

This film is beautifully shot with some fabulous early morning scenes. Some scenes are quite melancholic - others are simply exhilarating! With lots of psychedelic suggestions, the story of this great movie runs far deeper than is given credit for.

A young woman attempts to 'save' herself from her own sexual addiction to a virtual stranger by rushing into marriage with a man she has become 'comfortably' engaged to, but he's somewhat boring and a little weak, which does not help her fight her temptations... The pathetic portrayal of her future husband is done without any sentiment at all with a great example being the humiliating scene involving the children in the classroom quite early on in the picture - this in particular ignites much sympathy from the viewer for the girl and her plight. The girl Rebecca, finds herself torn between love and excitement, but she becomes too embroiled in what will become her ultimate downfall... The flashbacks are cleverly interspersed in a way that keeps the viewer guessing as to whether she's arrived at her destination - or if it's just another daydream. This little quirk becomes more gripping as the film and story progresses.

There's also some great dialogue from Faithfull's character as we enter her thoughts as she rides along on her bike at tremendous speed, that for any of those who woke up towards the end of the 60s decade, to find that nothing had really happened at all - this will be particularly poignant; there were still people living boring lives, people still got married, and people still died... Nothing had really changed at all...Read more ›
