Director Tinto Brass, Vanessa Redgrave, and Franco Nero had just wrapped their previous collaboration, Dropout (1970). Seeking to expand their exploration of societal outcasts, they immediately pushed forward with La Vacanza .

It is considered one of the last "serious" avant-garde films by Tinto Brass before he pivoted heavily toward eroticism, offering a glimpse of the socially conscious director he was.

If you are coming to this expecting the polished softcore of Così fan tutte , you might be disappointed. La Vacanza grim, earthy, and impenetrable
