Viewing Notes
Third film in Jason’s all-nighter marathon and probably the one that cleared the room or made most of the group fall asleep (it started sometime around 1:45AM). The premise is interesting but it’s so terribly slow despite the continuous parade of nude young women. Not really a movie made for an overnight time slot. And I’m not even sure what the story was beyond this dude photographing these women in a variety of different sets and locations for “the state” controlled adult content. Feels more experimental. I do like this film bc it is unique.

Thinking more on this one I do believe this is the type of movie that you would find in the overnight slot on a movie channel like Cinemax as an artsy fartsy approach to titillation. Like one of those forbidden fruit films you’d only catch glimpses of and conjure the idea that it was probably the greatest thing while dial spinning thru the limited channel selection. So it does make sense to drop it in this time slot (followed by an Emmanuelle flick no less). Of the entire marathon this is likely the film I’ll remember the most.
