A quirky, weird film....but I really enjoyed it!
As others have noted, the Mediterranean scenery is gorgeous and Sydne Rome has a role that is somewhat akin to Alice in 'Alice in Wonderland'. She encounters some pretty strange people in this sea-side villa, including one of my favorite Italian actors, Marcello Mastroianni. If you don't try and look for a plot....or make sense of anything you're seeing, you'll probably enjoy it!

Cinema without a story
Beautifully filmed series of enounters with odd characters as a picaresque with deja vu. There is no story, no ending, no meaning (like Life, I guess). I have heard sport described as entertainment with no story. This movie is "pure" cinema, pretty pictures and noises. Filmmaking as sportYet, it haunted my dreams.

Visually compelling but...
There was so much potential and leaves you feeling like they must have cut out some significant parts of the movie to make it make sense. The first two acts brought up some existential possibilities (perhaps she died and these characters represented emotions or traumas needing closure, and the deja vu aspect as well) and chances to identify what these characters meant to each other to give them more depth. The featurettes on the DVD give a little solace but the movie title is exactly the question one should ask themselves when rationalizing what you just watched.

PROBABLY OUR GREATEST LIVING DIRECTOR'S WORST FILM
I would argue that, film by film, Polanski has given us more great films than any other living director. But this is a completely pointless excuse to watch a naked girl running from one setting to another for two hours. I desperately tried to find a rationale for the film [a post-modernist ALICE IN WONDERLAND?] but, in the end, I cannot think of a single reason to watch it. Unless you want to see a naked girl running from one setting to another for two hours.[But I should add, I haven't seen PIRATES.]

Strange Cute Naked Girl Story
This movie was so screwie with no basic plot that it was an ok movie. It kept my attention because I kept thinking this story has to go somewhere with this cute girl running around with little or no clothes on, running into different people in different rooms in different situations and finally just leaving the home in a truck, sort of like a modern Alice in Wonderland story!!?? Really weird and sort of entertaining with a cute naked girl is all I can say....!!!

What's going on in Wonderland
Don't expect Chinatown or The Pianist here. This quirky little sex comedy starring Sydne Rome in one of her most delightful if a little weird roles is lots of fun. The girl escapes rapists and ends up hiding out in a mansion whose inhabitants don't seem to mind one bit there is a stranger around. Well, they are all a little strange. The dreamlike quality of the film suggests Alice in Wonderland and sometimes we wonder what the heck is going on. Enchanting and delightful romp.

FILM IN SEARCH OF A STORY BUT SO WHAT!!!!!!
A so WHAT? Well any film from Roman Polanski is more that just a so What!!!I wouldn't say it's top of his game but beautifully photographed around a Mediterranean villa with a bunch of eccentric characters there and let's not forget the most scenic sight, Sydne Rome!!! Worth the price of admission alone.It's also good to see a beautifully restored cinemascope print. I'm sure WHAT went on when not filming may have been most interesting.
