Director
Bruno Gaburro delivers another tale of 19th Century erotica (similar
to his previous MALADONNA,
with essentially the same cast), but this time he adds peculiar elements
of gothic chills. A young man named Marco has accepted a bookkeeping/manager
position at the estate of his rich uncle, Sir Osvaldo Raininger. He
immediately notices that the land baron appears to be suffering from
a financial setback and Marco is determined to help him reconcile with
the bank. Meanwhile, there's something very strange going on... the
appearance of a ghostly woman in black lace. Uncle Osvaldo's wife had
died some years before and his sister-in-law is the only other person
living in the mansion. Yet, Marco sees, follows and secretly spies on
a mysterious woman - who looks exactly like his dead aunt - nightly
masturbating in the shadows. He begins to wonder if the randy woman
is actually the sister-in-law masquerading as her dead sister, or if
there's a ghost haunting the place.
Bruno
Gaburro, under a variety of pseudonyms (i.e., Joe Brenner, Bruno
Gaber, Orrubac Onurb, Alex Romano) began his career as a scriptwriter-turned-director,
helming mostly lightweight Italian sex comedies before delving into
serious erotica. During this time, Bruno was married to actress Erika
Blanc but that ended in 1987 with a messy divorce. Interestingly,
from the ashes of his marriage came Mr Gaburro's best film, the Dalila
Di Lazzaro thriller JEALOUS
EYES (1989).
Notorious sleaze-meister Pasquale Fanetti (alias Frank Di Niro) is the
man behind the camera [aptly explaining the film's obsession with naked
female bottoms in close-up, a mania which distinguishes most Fanetti
movies from TOP
MODEL 2 to OBSESSION:
TELEPHONE SEX, ROE PETALS AND THE INVISIBLE MAN].
