$17.99 |
Buy From Amazon.com (1989) - Foreign/ Drama - Despite a fair amount of bare skin, some of it very attractive, the film is seldom convincingly erotic. Only a pleasingly kinky scene wherein Emanuelle and her lover humiliate a young stud and a steamy (pardon the pun) steam bath encounter succeed in breaking the tedium of director Pasquale Fanetti's approach. Apparently looking to make a serious statement about love, Fanetti stuffs the film with meaningful but hopelessly clumsy and pretentious speeches about love and lust, as if seeking desperately to lift the film out of its grindhouse origins but failing to do so. This is very much a film wherein people don't speak — they expound deep meaningful philosophical thoughts that are never as cutting as Fanetti seems to think; the result is every bit as exciting as it sounds.
