Roger Vadim is responsible for classic sexy films like "And God Created Women" (which introduced the world to Bridget Bardot) and "Barbarella" (in which Jane Fonda did probably the only worthwhile thing she's ever done, on screen or off). Even better he directed the should-be cult film "Pretty Maids All in a Row", one of my personal faves of the early 70's. This is his most controversial and disturbing film, however. Through much of its running length, it was so disturbing and controversial I could barely stay awake. The ending though, which somewhat resembles Nicholas Roeg's "Bad Timing-A Sensual Obsession", does pack a bit of wallop.
A writer is approached at a fashion show by a wealthy, jaded young man to write a book on a woman, "Charlotte" (played by Sirpa Lane), who he claims he himself actually murdered! After this interesting opening, the movie turns into a kind of low-rent "Citizen Kane" as the writer interviews various people who knew the woman--her first lover, her sister, her homosexual husband, her drug-addled best friend, and the confessed killer himself. The problem referencing "Citizen Kane" as much as this movie does, however, is that it really suffers by the comparison. It's also unfortunately not all that more sexy than "Kane". The girl certainly is not all that fascinating (beyond her inability to keep her knickers on for five minutes). She's supposed to be very intelligent, for instance, but this is severely undermined by all the stupid things she does. (I did appreciate the part where, out of jealousy, she ties her would-be lover's other girlfriend to a bed and proceeds to shave off her pubes).
There are a couple good points to this movie. Mike Oldfield who composed "Tubular Bells", the theme to "The Exorcist", provides an interesting score, which the movie unfortunately milks nearly to death. (At one point the killer even plays a LP of it while he's telling his story!). Sirpa Lane is also surprisingly good, but perhaps that's only because she's been so incredibly bad in stuff like "The Beast" and "Papaya of the Caribbean". In any case, she's definitely a nice piece of Finnish a--cting talent. This isn't THAT bad, but it's not very good either.
