Director Francis Leroi's Je Suis a Prendre (aka I'm Yours to Take) is a slick and stylish softcore porn film that delivers on steamy scenes and stunning visuals. With a nod to Alfred Hitchcock's Suspicion, this European adult film offers a unique blend of eroticism and storytelling.
The film follows the story of a newlywed couple and the mysterious events that unfold on their rural estate. While the plot adds a layer of intrigue, it is the performances and cinematography that truly stand out.
Brigitte Lahaie shines in her role, bringing an uninhibited and desperate sensuality to the screen. Her scenes are the highlight of the film, especially the infamous foursome. This scene, which involves Lahaie, Karine Gambier (who joins with a strap-on), an older gentleman, and another male partner, is an intense display of eroticism that is sure to leave a lasting impression. Gambier takes Lahaie from behind, filling her ass, while Lahaie's mouth is occupied by the cock of the elderly fellow, and her pussy is filled as well.
The real star of the show, however, is the cinematography. The film is beautifully lit and shot, with decadent visuals and a masterful use of color. Every scene, whether erotic or not, is composed with a sensual eye, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. The dubbing and dialogue may have their shortcomings, but they also add a layer of charm to this vintage Euro-porn.
In conclusion, Je Suis a Prendre is a visually stunning and erotic film that delivers on its promise of arousal and intrigue. While the story and performances are memorable, it is the cinematography that truly sets this film apart, earning it a solid 6 out of 10.
So, if you're in the mood for a stylish and sensual adventure, this vintage softcore flick is definitely worth a watch, especially for that boundary-pushing scene with Lahaie, Gambier, and friend.

As far as stylish softporn movies go, they hardly ever come more slick and stylish than Just Jaeckin's "Histoire d'O". And would you believe it: with this film Francis Leroi attempts a variation of the same story, slicker and even more stylish, but as a hardcore pornographic movie. Such an attempt appears to be doomed from the start, but to my own amazement I have to concede that Leroi actually succeeds in this undertaking.
The biggest asset of the film is its glorious cinematography. I am not kidding; yes, it's porn, and yes, it's beautifully lit and shot. I have watched quite a few porn flicks in my time, and this is by a very long way the best-photographed of them all.
Film connoisseurs might also enjoy the reference to Alfred Hitchcock's film "Suspicion" - and this time the milk is spiked, though not with poison. Given the genre, you probably can guess the purpose of the extra ingredient.

This is without doubt the best or one of the best Brigitte Lahaie films,the gorgeous french actress.The film is wonderfully shot(if you enjoy long and wide-screen cinematography), has a coherent story line that is easy to follow and has a lot of brigitte lahaie screen time.fortunately a dozen or so brigitte lahaie films are available on the net or at auction sites.I would recommend this feature to all lovers of sexually explicit and erotic cinema.
The late Francis Leroi abandoned his customary bourgeois-bashing for this, arguably his masterpiece, and the results are none the worse for it.
France's most popular adult film actress of all time, Brigitte Lahaie, who has never looked or acted better, stars as the blushing bride of brooding lord of the manor Patrick Bruno, a handsome man as well as a competent thespian whose only other credit seems to have been for Lois Koenigswerther's indistinguishable JE SUIS AVIDE D'HOMMES, notable only for a rare hardcore appearance by soft-core siren Gilda Arancio. Once they have arrived at his luxurious château however, Bruno all but ignores his youthful spouse and her perfectly natural yearning for carnal consummation.
A practicing libertine himself, as amply evidenced by his frequent visits to the local brothel, he wants to assure his inexperienced wife will fit right into his self-styled decadent existence before committing to her both sexually and emotionally. Punctuated by spiked glasses of milk at bedtime, Brigitte is submitted to a sizzling series of intimate initiations instigated by maid Karine Gambier (of Jess Franco's delirious SEXY SISTERS fame), stable boy Jean-Pierre Armand and elderly butler Robert Leray.
Basically, that's the full amount of plot there is, yet this film is conspicuously separated from meat 'n' potatoes porn by the director's achingly erotic build-up to each carnal crescendo. Leroi takes his merry time seducing the viewer, something female viewers (especially those into romance novels and, considering their sales figures, they must be legion) should particularly appreciate, with Lahaie's wide-eyed innocent being gradually ravished, culminating in a sturdy sandwich sequence, which was still something of an uncommon occurrence in '70s porn.
Additional highlights include the lady's passionate Mills & Boon tryst with Armand amid the horses and her insidious Sapphic education at the hands of the deliciously depraved Gambier, their flawless bodies strewn with whithered autumn leaves, accompanied by the haunting whistling of the wind on the soundtrack.
The imagination-fueling location is put to exemplary use by François About's phenomenal widescreen cinematography and even the unsettling, softly tinkling (and distinctly non-porno type) music genuinely adds to the overwhelming atmosphere of dread mixed with mounting delight. This talented filmmaker may have concocted movies more lavish and popular (PETITES FILLES AU BORDEL and REVES DE CUIR immediately come to mind) but this is his standout achievement by far, making it one of the finest European adult movies ever by definition.
