SEX ON THE BRAIN [Sesso in Testa] (1974) Pilar Velasquez!
3754DVD
A
Whimsical Yet Scorching Look at Sex & Prostitution
Original Italian title: SESSO
IN TESTA [Sex on the Mind]
also known as: ITALIAN SEX and THE SEX THESIS
director:
Sergio Ammirata (with Fernando Di Leo)
starring Pilar Velasquez · Didi Perego · Aldo Giuffre
· Oreste Lionello · Toni Ucci · Lino Banfi
At
a University, Sociology student Diana Tornetti defends her thesis on
how Italian men relate to prostitutes. During her presentation to the
school board, she reveals that she studied the subject first hand, working
as a prostitute servicing hundreds of clients. Her case studies are
presented in numerous colorful vignettes much to the chagrin of the
board members (including a priest and scandalized nun).
This
film is totally out-of-character for director Fernando Di Leo and despite
his involvement - in both helming and writing - he decided to pull his
name from the credits, instead attributing it totally to actor Sergio
Ammirata (best known for appearing in many Di Leo's films including
SHOOT
FIRST...DIE LATER and various Renato Polselli projects, TRUTH
ACCORDING TO SATAN, REVELATIONS
OF A PSYCHIATRIST ON THE PERVERSE WORLD OF SEX, et al).
While there is no possibility of determining genealogy of this film
based on comparison to other Ammirata projects (essentially because
he 'directed' no other movie), it is most likely that this is fully
the work of Fernando Di Leo based on style alone. Besides his crime
films, Mr Di Leo is known for the quintessential horror sleaze BEAST
KILLS IN COLD BLOOD [Slaughter Hotel] and his Lolita story SEDUCTION.
His home-invasion thriller MADNESS
(Vacanze per un Massacro)is the best of Joe Dallesandro's European
films. Mr Di Leo officially retired in 1985; he died from a stroke in
December 2003 at age 71.
