User Reviews

glossy 60s erotica for modern libertines

Seen today, the best elements in Metzger's 60s erotic films are not the sex scenes but the lounge/pop music scores, mod interior design and hip dialogue. Also of note is the creative use of camera placement (through glass or mirrors) to distort what we're seeing. There are long stretches of dull dubbed dialogue between erotic scenes but the three colorful party sequences were the highlights for me.
