Venus in Furs (1969)
(Le malizie di Venere/Devil in the Flesh)
Country: IT/SW/GER
Technical: col/2.35:1 83m
Director: Massimo Dallamano
Cast: Laura Antonelli, Régis Vallée, Loren Ewing
Synopsis:
A man whom childhood repression has turned into a voyeur becomes the lover of a woman in order to watch her have sex with other men.
Review:
Based on Sacher-Masoch's notorious book, this film ran into dreadful censorship problems, particularly in Italy where it was banned until 1975. As a piece of pioneering erotica its appeal is unassailable, though it will raise barely an eyebrow now.
