This movie gets points for the cinematography and the settings - the castle looks fantastic. Rather than a porno movie, this is more like a story about S & M, and bondage and obedience. There is a lot of female nudity, but no male frontal nudity.
The story follows O, a French woman who is taken to a castle by her boyfriend, where she is initiated into submission. Right there I have a problem with the story, because she is suffering through all this to please her boyfriend, played by Udo Kier - now in 1975 Kier looked gay, gay, gay, so why would a woman do all these things for such a gay guy?
The random sex maybe typical of porn, but is not necessarily a turn on - one interesting contrast between American porn and French porn is that all the French actresses had small flabby breasts - now you never see that in American porn - American women should be proud of their large, aggressive breasts!
The story is more like a male fantasy - this movie would have been better if done with a sense of humor - the fact that this movie takes itself so seriously makes some parts of the story unbelievable. This movie will provide you with some strange entertainment on a rainy night. Just don't expect too much from it.
