The art of erotica , sometimes, takes different track, 23 September 2000

It seems that director Aurelio Grimaldi did not waste the viewer's time with irrelative details. The central theme of story is about an upper class wife (Alba Parietti) who owns an art gallery, finds herself attracted to the thing she always disliked. Being a vegetarian, one day, she dropped down and was taken to a psychologist, who recommended that she should start eating meat since her body is lacking iron vitamin. While her husband away, she was exposed to the world of meat and the process of meat-cutting in the butcher's shop. She forced herself to accept the change from being a vegetarian to a normal meat consumer. Then, and towards the second part of the movie, the story takes a different track. It is a soft-porno, and it fits in the genre of erotica. Alba Parietti face's expression during the process of meat-cutting in the butcher's shop push the art of erotic films two steps ahead. I highly recommend this movie for some who enjoys erotica as an art.
