Amanda Lear - The Movie (Follow Me)

[Magnifique]

Does anybody know if the movie about Amanda Lear is available as a DVD or video cassette? I watched this movie at the cinema (the title was "Follow Me" if I am not mistaken) in 1978 or so. If my memory serves me right the songs featured in that movie were taken from her "Sweet Revenge" album.

You saw Aristide Massaccesi/Joe D'Amato's "Follia Di Notte", made in 1978, with Amanda acting as a hostess to more or less gross mondo segments she had nothing to do with an sich. The best thing was the ending where she rode a motorbike up to a stage and performed "Follow Me", or was it the bit where she took us to a tour of her mansion? The film was briefly available in Italy and in import stores worldwide as a vhs video cassette, you'll probably be able to find it on ebay.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I do not remember any specific scenes from the movie. I saw it almost 30 years ago. There's one scene, however, that I can remember: She's in her little room behind stage and the camera man films her as she puts on make-up. She then performs "Follow me" wearing that glitzy, tight-fit red jump(?)suit and the black cape.

Actually, the song she sings on the motorbike is Enigma and may be seen on youtube. Amanda looks absolutely fantastic in the clip. She subsequently sued the producers because hardcore scenes were inserted in the film and she was dubbed. She sings two songs, Follow Me and Enigma. I recently read Amanda's biography of her years with Salvador dali and she mentions attending Cannes in 1980 to promote a documentary of her tour of the previous year.
