A mature and intelligent sexploitation film? "Sin in the Suburbs" fills that bill well. Joe Sarno obviously isn't interested in simple titillation. The film keeps the nudity to the most minimal possible (any actual nudity is brief and partial). Most of the film concentrates more on what drives people to such bizarre sexual acts as opposed to focusing on the acts themselves. The characters are all honest, sympathetic, and considerably well-developed. The film deals with such potentially exploitable elements in a tasteful way. Sarno was far more ambitious than Barry Mahon and the other nudie filmmakers, and while he isn't on the level of Bergman (as some of his defenders claim), he's certainly worth a look. The brilliant scenes with the club may recall "Eyes Wide Shut". His screenplay is also good with some surprisingly clever dialog. Plus, the cutting between scenes is impressive.
There are several things that drag the film down. While some of the acting is good, some of it is mediocre, but this is more forgivable considering the resources Sarno had to work with. The main stars turn in competent performances, which is what ultimately matters. What is a bit more problematic is the absolutely horrible pacing. While Sarno was an intelligent man and he crafted an unique and stylish picture, "Sin in the Suburbs" seriously drags at moments, unbearably so occasionally. This prevents it from being a true cult classic. Still, its interesting just because its a sexploitation film done with a degree of smarts. (6/10)
