A beautiful
yet lurid XXX film, bathed in sinister crimson and yellow tones, directed
by Jesus Franco under the supervision of Joe D'Amato. Here is the bleak,
erotic tale of a young exotic dancer, Justine (played by long-haired
Lina Romay in her prime), who teeters on the edge of suicide after loneliness
forces her into a life prostitution. She is also despondent as her own
relationship with boyfriend Chris (Alain Petit) slips deeper into tirades
of religious indoctrination punctuated by S&M whip sessions.
Shot
at a time when Jesus Franco was increasingly disinterested in traditional
production values [between EXORCISM
(1974) and DORIANA
GRAY (1976)], this film was made in three stages for D'Amato's
production company ...with original footage edited into segments from
his Shining Sex and Midnight Party. For the only time
in his career, Franco signed this movie as 'Dave Tough' - a homage
to an obscure Jazz drummer who died at age 40. Joe D'Amato created a
soundtrack with veteran Nico Fidenco, featuring music which would also
be prominent in various Black Emanuelle films over the next few
years.
