  • Jesus Franco & Lina Romay – Una Rajita Para Dos AKA A Crack For Two (1984)

    1981-1990EroticaExploitationJesus FrancoLina RomaySpain

    Quote:
    Yet another hardcore film co-directed by Jess Franco and Lina Romay[Lulu LaVerne] As usual with a Franco hardcore picture, this film doesn’t go for anything sexual but instead it throws countless sex scenes into a bizarre story. The story centers around a government agent who is following a spy (Romay) who puts some sort of secret chip up women’s butts in order to carry out only God knows what. I had to view this film in Spanish without any subtitles so I’m not exactly sure what the chips were being used for but it doesn’t appear that there was too much to the story since the majority of the 83-minute running time centers on the sex scenes. For the most part these scenes are poorly shot and you can tell that the director was working on a very low budget. Read More »

  • Gianfranco Mingozzi – Il frullo del passero AKA The Sparrow’s Fluttering (1988)

    Drama1981-1990EroticaGianfranco MingozziItaly

    Official announce:
    Young and beautiful Silvana (Ornella Muti) has reached an impasse in her life after the
    death of her lover. She is approached by a friend of the deceased, Gabriele (Philippe
    Noiret), who proposes to keep her in luxury at his manor house, as long as she will keep
    him company and listen to his stories of past love affairs. Initially, Silvana is not attracted
    to the older man, and only reluctantly, and in stages, accepts his strange offer. What
    follows is a very different tale of seduction and awakening for Silvana, as Gabriele’s tales
    impress themselves upon her, and even in a way enter her own life. As much of the film
    rests on the verbal stories that Gabriele tell Silvana, a real understanding and
    appreciation of the film is of course not possible (for me personally) without an English
    translation of the dialogue. However, Muti and Noiret are wonderful to watch, and the film
    as such looks good (as photographed by Luigi Verga).Read More »

    If you ever wanted to see R2-D2 control sex scenes, and you like an early 80s score, then this is exactly the film for you.

    No doubt, despite the amount of penis screentime and lesbian sex, this is a film explicitly made for the straight male gaze. It would be hard to argue against a misogynistic reading, and this film carries an unhealthy dose of of rape/sexual assault and predatory stalking into its sexual scenarios, that should require an upfront trigger warning. While it can carry an inherent eroticism for many, for me the eroticism goes away considering the narrative context. That said, hypnosis, servitude, fuck dolls, remote control ARE many people’s kinks. While the films are miles apart, a story about a man constructing a woman after he can no longer see the woman he loves (to fuck) not only explicitly references Frankenstein, but is part of a lineage that goes back to Metropolis, and continues into modern films too.Read More »
