If I had seen this ten years ago I would have LOST MY SHIT because the art direction in this is unbelievable, and at that moment there was nothing I wanted more than to make my bedroom look like a night club in the void of black walls and green house plants, with occasional spot lighting and dry ice. If only for the literally perfect set design, this strikes me as better than Sinner, which honestly I don't remember a single thing about at the moment.

There's also a bizarrely satisfying use of casual set repetition with absolutely no attempt to try to pretend that a set isn't being recycled -- instead of coming off as cheap it instead places…

Awesome title for this little but very interesting film. I think Jess did shoot it all, because Dietrich wasn't able to take shots so abstract and Wellesian (almost all the movie is in a very theatrical black setting, with great compositions made of light and fog). The porn version works better, since the soft has some absurd scenes with Eric Falk doing a psychologist-hypnotist-womanizer which don't go anywhere. The porn version is included as an extra in HD but looks more dirty and less polished, as I like. Kali Hansa does a wild role as a lesbian dancer, and Jess Franco doesn't appear in the film despite the promo stills. I'm sure he shot the movie while doing DIE SKLAVINEN…

The Year of Franco #69

Yes, #69, teehee, snigger, etc, let's just get that out of the way right off the bat.

Another in the string of house-arrest quickies Franco directed for Dietrich, this one has much more of the Franco look than Girls in the Night Traffic, and it's a little more inventive art direction-wise, but it still has a cloying inertia about it. It does have the advantage of being a straight-up sex film rather than a comedy, my least favourite Franco brand. It tells the story of Marga, a black nightclub dancer who attempts suicide after watching her lover Lena sleep with a man on-stage.

The set design for the nightclub is impressive and Baumgartner's tropicalia score…

I watched the hardcore-cut because I read that the story makes more sense in that version.
Franco takes the core idea of Le journal intime d'une nymphomane and turns it into an adult film. Being filmed entirely on sets in Zürich the movie doesn't have any outdoor scenes. That sounds worse than it actually is because the set-design is quite nice to look at and brings a unique atmosphere to the movie.
What brings the movie down are the ugly close-ups during the sex scenes. Those scenes also lack Franco's usually style which involves lots of zooming and focus-shifting. Instead one gets conventional camera shots without much movement.
The music is good in this. Although it might be used before…
