Bacchanales Sexuelles begins in a garishly, Jess Franco-ian fashion with a mysterious, fabulously attired exotic blond, Malvina (Britt Anders) making enquiries over the current whereabouts of a journalist in her splendidly sordid-looking office. We later discover that the imperious, Malvina is a nefarious, slave-making, polymorphously perverse pseudo-sorceress! This debased, blackmailing matriarch uses her ensorcelled initiates to furiously scintillate her luridly licentious desires! With a threadbare plot mirroring the flimsy garments these delightful Gallic starlets so blithely discard, director, Michele Gentil (Jean Rollin) proceeds alacritously to the fulsome fleshly frolics that form the sleekly attractive backbone of his daringly illicit romp. Bacchanales Sexuelles gleefully exposes more perfectly formed rumps than the fevered filth of fellow French sensualist the Marquis de Sade!
While 'Bacchanales Sexuelles' is narratively sparse, the playful director's sublimely sensuous skin-flick is far from frugal when it comes to diverting displays of energetically performed, multifarious examples of physically amorous dexterity! Once the breathtakingly beautiful Valerie (Joelle Coeur) has taken up comfortable residence in her absent Cousin's agreeably palatial, handsomely Bohemian apartment, she proceeds with great dispatch to hungrily explore every nubile nook and insatiable cranny the curious Valerie zealously comes across!
There are all too few vintage soft core smut fests that so pleasantly revive both the somnolent spirit and other more corporeal appendages than, Jean Rollin's passionately pulchritudinous exploration of epicurean exotica! Happily, very little is left to the imagination, therefore giving the more avidly skin-seeking celluloid sensualist a ringside seat to some of the moist sublime B-Movie burlesque this silken side of Joseph Sarno! These uniquely edifying visions of Gallic Grindhouse's finely-flanked felines, Joelle Coeur, titillating terror twins, Catherine & Marie-Pierre Castel, and the delightfully elfin Annie 'Lips of Blood' Belle prove deliciously irresistible! The supremely slinky, never less than funky lounge score by groove-master, Rex Hilton is pitch perfect sleazy listening!
