A group of people come together and talk about transgressive sexual subjects. This is inter-cut with often graphic sex scenes involving rape, torture, bestiality, lesbianism, masturbation and other subjects you may or may not be able to think of.
I will freely admit that not being able to really speak Italian with any real ability put me at a disadvantage since a good portion of the film consists of heated discussion. Yet somehow I think that had I been able to really understand what was being said I probably would have rated this lower than a three its its filmed in a very pretentious way. My annoyance with the film comes from the feeling that the film makers wanted to make a REALLY dirty movie and felt that the only way to do it was turn it into a political or sociological discussion. I did not find it deep or meaningful, but rather dull and boring in a "thats nice dear" sort of way.
Ultimately the movie fails to be erotic because its too arty and fails to be meaningful because its too smutty. I'd let this one be unless you'd really like to see a few "taboo" fetishistic subjects portrayed in some rather awkward scenes.
