director:

This
is it! The fully uncut version of Polselli's most notorious, most offensive,
most challenging film. Purposely shot to resemble a film from the '50s
- with a quirky, antiquated soundtrack to match - director Polselli allows
his story to jump all over the spectrum, before eventually settling into
a numbing parade of (seemingly) unrelated segments designed to shock.
And then shock even more. Somewhere in the foundation of the film is a
murky message about the role of women in society but - regardless of whatever
lofty intentions may have originally been designed - the narrative soon
gets embedded in a misogynistic rampage. Visually, Polselli delivers scenes
showing intercourse with tree branches, violent rape, bathtub murder,
candle masturbation, whipping, switchblade foreplay, a woman urinating
in a bucket, black magic lesbian rituals, toe fetish, women pleasuring
themselves with corn-cobbs, Pedophilia, and a sexual encounter with a
donkey.
Renato
Polselli usually directed films under the pseudonym ‘Ralph Brown’
and he is best known for VAMPIRE
OF THE OPERA, DELIRIUM,
THE
TRUTH ACCORDING TO SATAN and BLACK
MAGIC RITES AND SECRET ORGIES OF 14th CENTURY. As his career continued,
Mr Polselli films became more excessive; some critics wrote that he had
gone insane. This film is easily his most unrestrained endeavor. He completed
it in 1973 but censorship problems and nervous distributors kept it from
being released until 1979. Even then, it was hushed and had a difficult
time securing theater screens. Renato Polselli died of natural causes
at age 84 in October of 2006.
