Daniela, an attractive and enterprising teenager raised in an affluent, devout Christian family in Santiago, Chile, is also secretly the author of “Young and Wild,” a racy sex blog that exposes the adventures of her “pussy in flames” to a wide underground fan base. If only her family knew just how far her irrepressible libido has taken her…
Expelled from school for her sexual exploits, Daniela finds a job at a Christian TV network. Soon, a bisexual love triangle unfolds. But who is more fun to play with: handsome, pious supervisor TomÁs or co-worker sultry Antonia? Of course, Daniela learns that trying to have it all—love, sex, eternal salvation—can be terribly complicated.
Based on the real-life blog (JovenyAlocada.com) of lesbian cowriter Camila GutiÉrrez, who won a screenwriting award at the Sundance 2012 Film Festival, the film uses enthralling, sexy graphics and on-screen text to complement the story. Alicia RodrÍguez is spectacular as the self-absorbed Daniela, managing to be realistic while maintaining an irresistible charm.
Crisp photography and dynamic editing lend the film a playful sexual tone that intercuts scenes of Daniela’s “body trembling with filth” during stolen moments of self-pleasuring with exciting, awkward first encounters. Stylistic, provocative, and altogether riotous, Marialy Rivas’s debut feature YOUNG AND WILD deftly captures the tensions between raging hormones and repressive religion.
