Movie review: Private Tropical 7 "Coconut Holiday" (2003) (Sarah Flu, Jennifer Bark, Luisa de Narco, Lucy Bee)
A beautiful 17th-century chateau fills the opening shot of "Coconut holiday," accompanied by a synthesizer organ song composed by composer Oreste Fiengo. The high rank is transmitted to the viewer, who is thus immersed in the seventh installment of the Tropical saga by Max Bellocchio.

An amazing property... and in this film it is a French school for foreigners
An end-of-year trip is about to begin and all the students at the school are going to enjoy a well-deserved vacation on an island in the Indian Ocean. Miss Samanta, a teacher, will go on bus number 5, which is already loaded with luggage, and will go with her Miss Renova (Italian), Olson (Norwegian), Bueno (Colombian), Doylon (American) and Miss Dancer (English).
This looks like a United Nations meeting
The Professor has 58 diotrias, from reading Balzac so much
The extroverted Lucía, one of those who have not been named, asks why they do not go on the bus to the cruise... with the rest of the companions. She pretends to be surprised, but it seems that she could already expect such an ending.
"The teacher hates me"
Logo of the French school for foreigners
With great poise and temperance, the Professor alleges the arguments that have led him to separate them from the rest: they are very bad, they laugh at their lessons, they constantly play hooky and he even suspects that boys have entered the dormitories of the residence hall... For all these reasons, they will spend 10 days on their sailboat, doing some extra custom classes, which will help them catch up with their companions.
School teachers, hobbies: kidnapping and penance
A long, loooong speech
All this implies that they cannot go to the island alone, but with Miss Agata. They will not be able to enjoy the clubs, the shops or anything like that. It's time to introduce the girls from the École who have been set apart from the rest. This quintet are "The Czechs" because they all come from this country that borders on Germany. In the photo above, from left to right, we have Eva, Lucy, Julie, Lucia, and Sarah, all from wealthy families in Prague. His parents own supermarket chains, luxury restaurants, transport companies, commercial law firms and a television channel. Thanks to the heritage that their parents treasure, it has been possible to pay for their stay in Ferolles-Attilly so that they can learn the Gallic language.
What a squad of sailors...
Illusion, in an image
Three days of captivity
The Professor does not stop with his classes
Unorthodox classes
This book of Jocelyn Hattab... It is the one he uses to give master classes in French.
The leader of "The Czechs", Lucía, proposes to go to the beach, instead of hovering at anchor in a bay. In addition, Miss Ágata is on the island all day, enjoying nature. The Professor reminds them that they are all punished and that Ágata is also a renowned ornithologist who is dedicated to investigating the birds of the place. Quite simply, Ágata thoroughly studies the birds of the place.
The bird in question...
They're up to something...
The typical lure
Lucía moves quickly, without hesitation, and gets on the boat heading for the beach of the nearby island. The Professor does not find out about the move. The Czechs work as a team and are five against one.
Magician's play...
It's normal that he doesn't see anything with the myopia that man has...
Arriving at the shore, Lucía comes across something unusual and unexpected. The ornithologist has met a boy on the beach and they are having a good time. He has forgotten ornithology and science. Lucia does not miss the opportunity and with one Fujifilm Instax 100, immortalize the moment with agility and good framing.
"Now I do have you"
The garden of Eden
They both return to the ship separately. We assume that the rest of the Czechs continue to entertain the Professor with herds of invented dolphins... In short, since he is as blind as a bat, he believes everything they tell him. Once on board, and with the photographs already developed because they are instant film...
"His judgement cometh and right that soon..."
18 US Code Chapter 41 - EXTORTION AND THREATS
Czech´s Angels
The "dead fly", that is how they call her, is paralyzed with terror when she sees the photos in which she appears in the midst of ornithological research. In a first reaction, he is defiant, but soon gives in to blackmail and offers to collaborate. In exchange for all the photos being handed over to him, he will entertain the Professor so that all the girls can visit the island, taking turns.
The first beneficiary is, again, Lucía. The leader imposes her law and goes to the island instead of Ágata. The first history Tinder dwas created over the Indian ocean.
Its seems a place of Predator movie, from Schwarzenegger. Ray and Lucía, main characters
If few go to class, it is very noticeable who is missing
It doesn't take long for the Professor to miss the most adventurous of the group, Lucía, and he interrupts the class to ask. Ágata covers for her, inventing that she is in her cabin, indisposed.
"She is in her cabin" says Ágata,as if it were the ship SY A from Andrey Melnichenko
Gossip near the coast
Lucía explains to the band of The Czech how it has been on the beach, and announces that Ágata is so scared by the possible leak of the photos, that she is going to collaborate until the last consequences. Now it's up to others to step on solid ground. Sarah and Julie are next and at night they show their nervousness in the shared cabin.
Bedroom conversation reading Cuore magazine
Dissuasive maneuver
Ágata soaks the Professor first thing in the morning, to give him swimming lessons in the open sea. Although the teacher soon realizes that the time is approaching when classes should start. There, the ornithologist teacher informs him that all the students are indisposed. An African virus seems to have put the crew in check. Discouragement spreads in the philologist.
Face of believing that there is an Ebola epidemic on the ship
Platinum-colored Czechs are next on the ranks. Sonny, Pablo Alejandro and Ray are waiting for you
George Uhl look alike Chimo Bayo here
The reality is that the girls are coming and going from the island, with the evacuation boats, and that no one has any health problems. Ágata is very cooperative despite the extortion of which she is being a victim.
At night, in the other cabin, in one of the dark-haired Czechs, they already plan tomorrow
Each time, a little further. The teacher learns to swim
¡Green light for brunettes!
Seychelles: wedding agengy. Sonny walks with Eva and Lucy
The film has an overly simplistic storyline, because now we are witnessing girls running from here to there, which inexorably translates into a lot of filler scenes.
Max Bellocchio seems to realize the impasse in which the film finds itself and decides to give the script a twist, one of those that take your breath away.
Between Czechs they understand each other well
Eva and Pablo Alejandro walk along the seashore, relaxed, and ask a man to take a photograph of them so that they can immortalize the moment. I think Eva also needs a myopia operation, because she doesn't realize who she is, not even when she's five meters away.
This teacher really reads
Surpriiiise
OMG!
The Professor threatens her with expulsion, while she has chosen to run away, as if that would cause a selective amnesia for the teacher at the École Trigano.
Time to run the London Marathon, although there is no remedy
Crisis coven
Faced with such a setback, The Czechs meet on deck and decide to ask Agata for a new favor, who they have handcuffed with the photos of their dalliances on the sand. Agatha again seems reluctant at the beginning of the conversation, but again she has to give in.
Ágata, a priori, cannot do anything against the expulsion of the girls...
Let me think about it...just a moment
I have a great idea!
Agatha invites the professor to go to a hill on the nearby island
Looking neck area...
Verónica Sinclair look alike Helen Hunt
Take a picture now!
Lucia doesn't even need a camouflage suit...
The Professor falls into the web that the girls have spread for him. Now it is The Czechs and her squire Ágata who work cooperatively against their interests. He has everything to lose.
The next day, Ágata tells him that the girls have taken photos of them, and that therefore, they will be able to show their romance to the director of the École Trigano... This puts them in a difficult situation.
Shock after shock
They solve the problem of evidentiary difficulty with a Fujifilm...
In exchange for destroying the photos, The Czechs want a free pass to be able to travel to the islands in the last three days of the journey. This, far from displeasing the Professor, now in love with Ágata, opens his eyes. Suddenly, Agatha, who sees a sudden crush on the Professor coming, informs him that she is indisposed. His only salvation is to flee.
From leader to another chess piece...
Here it is the man!
Meanwhile, the Professor blindly believing the excuse for Ágata's indisposition, he gets lost in his memories, examining the photos that Lucía took of him. We assume that The Czechs have in their possession other snapshots with which they will be able to show the director what happened in the Seychelles, if necessary.
Defeated but happy
The end-of-year trip on the ship-prison ends abruptly, and with almost no time to enjoy freedom, they must return to Paris, to the Ferolles-Attilly school. Anyway, the girls have saved the contacts of the boys. Both Ray and Sonny are French, so they have approached the École Trigano to keep the relationship alive. Now there are no more problems with the Professor, who is under threat of spreading the photos taken on the island.
Chateau de la Barre
The doorbell rings and the pulse quickens
They enter through the window, like in American teen movies
The moral of the film is, without a doubt, that an excess of regulations and coercion encourages riots in groups. The stricter the system, the more the peat is revealed. The Czechs achieved it in what is already known as the shell revolution, due to its geographical location on the Indian Ocean.
