Psychosexual
surrealism.
Saw this film on a triple feature dvd along with two other Lou
Campa productions called "Cool It Baby" (1965) and "Mini-skirt Love" (1967). Those were total crap
but this one had something. Reminded me of Warhol but more surreal. It´s trashy
without using gimmicks like John Waters.
Not relating much to plot of the book. Actually there´s no storyline. Just this (f)act about guys getting abused by women and this mood. A nightmarish fear of women and macho failure. Includes fetish acts like trampling, shoes, lingerie, foot fetish, bondage and role playing. Very leggy.
Kinky indeed but not necessarily sexy. Very nice photography at times. That and a killer library, psych-surfing,
soundtrack. Can´t think of any other 60´s sexploitation flick that has this
dreaming quality. I got a similar feeling from "Carnival of Souls" (1962) which is, of course, a very different kind of film.
This might fit well on a double feature night along with SingaporeSling (1990).
I recommend watching this late, alone and stoned like I did.
Meanwhile, I´ll need to watch more films by Joe Marzana.
