Brutal Nights of Linda

Brutal Nights of Linda (1973)

*** (out of 4)

Extremely bizarre, poetic and sometimes revolting film from director Jess Franco. A woman (Alice Arno) in desperate need of work goes to a remote Greek Island to care for a man (Paul Muller). The man warns her that his two daughters, one a nymphomaniac (Lina Romay) and the other a cripple, are both dangerous. Soon the nympho is seducing the woman as well as others in the house. This is a Franco film where sex is all over the place ranging from softcore to some hardcore scenes some of which are fairly disgusting to watch. Franco pretty much grabs the viewer by the throat and drags them through the dreamlike world he creates. One of the revolting scenes features Romay raping her sister with a banana and the bloody aftermath. The brilliant music score by Daniel White also helps the film and its weirdness. Viewed in French without subs.
