For instance, Exposed (1971) questions the male-dominated drives of the 1960s counterculture, while Anita: Swedish Nymphet (1973) functioned as a Swedish social problem film rather than sexploitation potboiler, depicting how a young woman’s uncontrollable sex drives lead to her gradual isolation from the more conformist settings of 1970s society. Whilst discussing the significance of these productions, Lindberg also considers the continued influence of her most controversial and celebrated cult title, Thriller (Bo Arne Vibenius, 1974).
