Eskimo Limon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eskimo Limon (Hebrew: אסקימו לימון) is a 1978 Israeli cult film directed by Boaz Davidson which led to a series of sequels.
[edit] The original Eskimo Limon movie
Eskimo Limon (English: "Going all the way", aka "Lemon Popsicle") was first released in February 11, 1978, starring Yftach Katzur (Benzi), Jonathan Segal (Momo), Zachi Noy(Yudale) and Anat Atzmon (Nili). The movie focuses on three high school kids and deals with their relationships with each other and of course girls. The film is a typical adolescence story and includes a sexual scene of the three having sex with an older woman called Stella HaMegameret (cumming Stella, played by Ophelia Shtruhl). Anat Atzmon made a great appearance in this movie as Nili - an adolescent girl who falls pregnant.Eskimo Limon recreates a 50's teenagers life- including the clothes, music, behaviour, scenery and cars. The film was a great success all over the world and represented Israel at the 1978 Berlin Film Festival. When the main actors toured Japan, they were mobbed by fans.
[edit] Sequels
In 1979 the first sequel Yotzim Kavua ("Going Steady") was released. Anat Atzmon did not take a part in this movie and there was an effort to find a new "Eskimo Limon girl". Like the original film, this film was about the same characters and included soft sex scenes.
Additional films in the series were produced, based on the three male actors. Among these was Sapiches, starring in addition to the regular cast Joseph Shiloach as Sgt. Shemesh - a stereotypical Persian Jew.
The fifth movie was directed by Dan Wolman, the seventh and eighth movies were directed by non-Israeli directors and were produced outside Israel. They became a success in Germany under the name Eis am Stiel.
1982 saw Davidson write and direct an American remake, The Last American Virgin, which didn't meet with nearly the same success as the original.
