WAVES OF LUST demonstrates the old adage, "What Goes Around Comes Around".
The story is nicely developed with well-rounded characters. And it is easy to sympathise with the existing/developing sexual tension between the 2 couples and within the couple themselves.
This is a fairly difficult Deodato film to describe, as it is vastly different from the other films of his that I have seen: HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK, CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, or the more recent and disappointing, THE WASHING MACHINE.
WAVES OF LUST is a dramatic-thriller, but not without its flaws, i.e. What happened to the unsolved death of Giorgio's colleague? (I guess the ending was his revenge.) What happened to Silvia? Did Irem/Barbara just no longer care after she fell aboard? Despite these loose-ends, I still think it's worth watching to see the interplay of the characters.
Btw, it rates fairly low on the smut level. Maybe I watched an edited version?
