A
deadbeat couple are looking for a way to vacate their hotel room without
paying the bill. Opportunity arises when a woman in an upstairs unit
jumps to her death. They use the confusion to escape. Now on the run,
they encounter a mysterious lady with supernatural powers. She takes
them to a villa where she places a curse on them. By doing so, she expands
their mental and spiritual horizons with mystical witchcraft. They soon
enjoy the seduction - dancing rituals and partaking in various sexual
acts - in two places at the same time.
Based
on the title, one would expect Alberto-Cavallone's film to be porn.
However, it's not. Well, not actually. But - due to the abundance of
nudity and sexual context - some viewers would quickly call it such.
But in reality, this is yet another journey into the hopelessly insane
world of director Alberto Cavallone (AFRIKA,
MAN
WOMAN AND BEAST, FEMALE
BARBARIANS OF THE KON TRIBE, et al). It's also his most
doomed project with the deck stacked against him from the start. Simply,
here is a distributor's worst nightmare. No mainstream theater in the
world would play a film called Blow Job and no video store would
stock it, except in a porn section (which isn't likely since the movie
doesn't contain any graphic scenes of a blow job). Rather this is a
wicked, perversely erotic motion picture that punctuates Cavallone's
car-wreck cinema and it has remained virtually unseen.
Alberto
Cavallone (sometimes using pseudonyms Baron Corvo and Dick Morrow) was
an anti-establishment filmmaker who notoriously pushed the envelope
in the name of avant garde cinema from the beginning. As his projects
became more bizarre and ultimately inaccessible, he ran into distribution
trouble. But he never compromised his incredulous vision. Alberto Cavallone's
career stopped abruptly when he died from heart failure at age 59 in
1997.
