Decameron francese

I was so anxious to see this, I had been waiting for years. I love searching out obscure films and finding those hidden gems, but this certainly isn't one of them. I honestly can't remember the plot or what it was about, except that this couple stumble upon a house that holds a society that has philosophical codes inspired by the Marquis de Sade. In this house is a bunch of people, diverse in ethnicity, age, and sexual deviations, lots of costumes, face-paint, Mardi Gras-looking makeup, girls holding snakes and bunnies, nude women, bashful nude men (nothing hardcore) all enjoying their oddities while "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" from Iron Butterfly blasts in the background. Then there was this one girl with the fish and the octopus that may very well have been an inspiration for Daikichi Amano's disgusting "art". Crazy stuff that isn't even really entertaining. The sleazefest becomes some kind of romantic tale at some point, then gets all messy. The scene from the white tile room with the paintings of body parts was beyond ridiculous. Not based on any actual stories from the Marquis de Sade, just inspired by scenes and philosophical opinions. Definitely not based upon the story "Philosophy In The Bedroom". A very silly, psychedelic film. A bad trip that I found boring. I was disappointed. I am so glad I did not buy this film.
