Rêves de sexes

Oh, well, this was the third porn of Rollin I watched and another disaster. I know that he directed those things to save money for his real movies, but I wonder if he couldn't have put a minimum of dedication. Or maybe he should have found other way of making easy money.

Thankfully, this here was in French and without subtitles, so I didn't have to understand the few lines of dialogues that I am sure were below the level of Ed Wood. We don't need to understand what the "actors" were saying to know that what was happening was the typical succession of stupid situations of porn "movies" made by people that hate the genre. It is not a problem of the genre in itself. Alain Payet showed with the excellent "Prostitution Clandestine" (1975) that it is possible to make XXX with a good story and decent actings. The problem with guys like Jean Rollin, Joe D'Amato and many others is that they weren't into porn, so they did it in a very lazy way, just interested in the payment.

The copy of "Rêves de Sexe" I saw has the title "Furia Erotica" in the opening credits, an appropriate stupid title for a stupid film. The music is horrendous and most of the "plot" segments consist of boring travelling shots of cars and landscapes!

None of the actresses are particularly interesting and the actors...well, Jean-Pierre Armand is good looking and has presence, but in porn movies, male actors are as secondary as the clothes of the actresses. They are just like dildos plugged into the ladies' bodies.

Recommend only to Jean Rollin completists and fanatics of vintage porn. If you aren't in none of these categories avoid it at all cost.
