Uta is a film from director Nick Philips. It uses the same formula as most Philips films in that all the dialogue is voice over. The film follows the exploits of "Uta" a 20 year old women who likes to share her body with men and women. Uta is shot in black and white and features attractive women. For fans of late 60's or early 70's erotica, this is a nice film to own or see. It is a little more explicit in the nudity shown from other late 60's soft-core films. Uta is now available from After Hours Cinema in the Storefront Feature Series titled "Grind House Trash Collection". This collection also features the films "Pimp Primer and Lusty Neighbors. Nice collectors item for fans of early 70/late 60's soft-core erotica.

"Uta was a groovy chick"
udar554 September 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Uta is a groovy chick who digs bread so she is a hooker. "Not one of those bow-legged whores," says Uta defiantly on the voice over. Nah, she has class and we spend the next hour with her as she trots around Los Angeles doing her work while waiting for her love to come home.
This is another soft-core item from Nick Millard (aka Nick Philips of CRIMINALLY INSANE fame). Running only an hour, it feels like three. Not a single line of dialog is spoken by the characters interacting on screen. All we get is Uta doing a voice over where she refers to herself in the third person and in the past tense. This might because Millard decides to hit the audience over the head with an experimental hammer during the final two minutes. With the jazz soundtrack and narration playing backwards, we see Uta and her lover (who turns out to be a woman) both dead in front seat of a car. A guy with a flashlight surveys the bodies and we don't know if they have been murdered or died in a car accident (the car itself is fine). THE END!
The film does have some merit if you want to check out LA in the late 60s and ogle at relatively hot women and dingy apartments. All in all, another bizarre entry in the filmography of Nick Millard. Honestly, I think Millard is the only filmmaker that heralded hack Jess Franco shakes his head at and mutters, "Wow, now that is a terrible film!"
