A real real disappointment. The appalling quality of the DVD version of this movie really does make a mockery of the format. Don't buy this under any circumstances! Seek out the Salvation VHS version from the UK. A real shame. This is one of the greatest examples of the genre. A visual and aural work of genius ruined by the terrible quality of the DVD

So unmistakably 1960's that this is reminiscent of Barbarella and Franco's Succubus, although it's far more watchable than the latter.
The story is simple, an impossibly smooth and trendy misogynist kidnaps an attractive female colleague so he can abuse her to groovy sounds in his outrageously cool bachelor pad.
Beautifully shot and lit, well acted and certainly shocking in it's day, you can see the arthouse crowd of the time hailing it as a masterpiece. But time has taken its toll and it has changed from a shocking tale of lust, power and sexual deviance into a sexy and cool 60's curiosity that would still shock your granny, but not your mum.

This film captures the intoxicating feeling of freedom and sexual excess of the late 60's. The premise is dark and disturbing, but handled with pitch perfect writing, directing and acting. Do consider that the movie dates from 1969, so it has that campy feeling of that era, but it works!

It romps through the intricacies of sexual desire in an amazing effective and engaging manner. In this context, sex is about power and this movie presents that dichotomy of dominion and submission as a game of profound psychological intricacy. The plot is haunting and the ending offers a masterful surprise. I cannot say enough about this film, the music is a perfect counterpart to this visual style, surreal and psychedelic at times, campy and futuristic at others (echoes of Fellini and Luis Buñel).

The DVD transfer kept the visual scratches and blemishes and discoloration, which lend the film an organic feeling that adds power to the notion that you are watching a forbidden film retrieved from a censored archive. This one is for art film lovers and avid connoisseurs only!

And I haven't even mentioned that the female lead is gorgeous (Dagmar Lassander) in that early 70s manner that makes one yearn for that time.
A cinematic gem hidden in the rough...
