Venus in Furs
Aka: Devil in the Flesh
Director: Massimo Dallamano
1969
Erotic/Drama
To be
frank I don’t really know if there’s anything more to the story than what is
obvious. A man gets obsessed by this woman and claims that women in furs are
the sexiest thing on the planet. The rest of the film seems to be about shooting
as many scenes as possible with as little clothes on the actresses as possible.
I realize that I’m being unjust to the movie with these views but I have a very
difficult time finding it worth my time watching movies like these. I like
naked women as much as the next guy and I am probably a bit of a pervert but
when it comes to softcore sexploitation I have a hard time.
Therefore
this will be a somewhat strange review. What can I write about when I don’t see
the point of the movie at all? I could say that the women are lovely and sexy –
which they are. I could also make comment about the atmosphere and the aesthetics
which is really nice but I don’t think that the movie should be seen just for
these things. Actually I think that the only reason to see it is if you’re
horny enough or as a reference to the sexploitation films of 1969.
I’m
going to give this a bit better grade than it deserves just because of the aesthetics.
It’s something I really enjoy in European movies like this but I need something
more… It gets so tedious after a while…
3/10
