This
style-over-content Italian Thriller is set in the not too different
future where drugs and bisexuality are commonplace. Susie actress Virginia
Hey plays Diane, a notoriously difficult photographer, who specializes
in offbeat S&M inspired projects. Her model-of-choice is female bodybuilder
Teagan, a girl who ends up getting murdered in a bondage session. A video
of the killing is sent to Diane and addressed "to the one I love."
A cop named Arnold is assigned to the case and immediately suspects Diane's
husband George, a man who makes bondage tapes. A bit later, Teagan's lesbian
lover is murdered and the case explodes.
Very
little is known about director Piccio Raffanini; here is his only project.
Some sources say this is actually a pseudonym for Lorenzo Onorati, the
cult director who made CALIGULA'S
SLAVES among others (usually using the Lawrence Webber alias).
The sonic music is credited to Gabriele Ducros but it's mostly the brainchild
of August Darnell who is known in the industry as Kid Creole and the Coconuts.
An
