This is a hidden gem of Italian exploitation cinema. It is the 9 1/2 Weeks of the 70's, only far more perverse and far more meaningful. Generally erotic dramas come off as silly attempts to show off skin, and even Samperi's most lauded film Malicious comes off as little more than a good tease. However, this film goes places that put your hair on end. For starters, the submission games played between sadistic pharmacy employee (one of Nero's best) and his boss (Lisa Gastoni) have been given weight being played out in WW2 France though the politics never crowd the plot.
The cinematography is by Vittorio Storaro and is often startling, the strobe effect at the end recalling Mario Bava's Drop of Water episode of Black Sabbath. And that end, her final act of submission is incredibly erotic.
This is one of my favorite non-horror exploitation films. The fact it languishes without due notice is a crime. In fact, Every underground 70's film Storaro lensed (Le Orme, The Fifth Chord) deserves a cult.
Storaro is a great of modern cinema. He has received three Academy Awards for Best Cinematography for the films Apocalypse Now, Reds (1981), and The Last Emperor, and is one of three living persons who has won the award three times, the others being Robert Richardson and Emmanuel Lubezki.
Storaro was known for stylish, fastidious, and flamboyant personal fashion. Francis Ford Coppola once said, "Vittorio is the only man I ever knew that could fall off a ladder in a white suit, into the mud, and not get dirty."
