I love the old adult flicks from the late 70's and 80's, and particularly Taboo. There are two things I like about the "golden age of porn", one, the performers actually seem to have a connection between them, other than the "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" of later years, and second, the female stars looked like your mom had a whole parallel lifestyle you didn't know about, the girl or Mrs. next door, with a twist. Which brings me to the review of the picture at hand. I know the main theme of this film is to portray and explore in explicit detail the mother-son incest taboo, and many people may be disgusted by it, but if you properly place it as simply being a naughty fantasy, I mean, come on, it's okay, it's not real, nothing bad is going to happen to you, just enjoy it for what it is. Kay Parker is excellent as the mother, and absolutely believable, a fine actress who appears as an intelligent, classy lady, and who can transform into a sex starved nympho the minute she's in the throes of passion. The build-up to her first carnal encounter with her son is more heated and alluring than anything you could see in today's XXX films, of course there's lots of sex in the journey, Kay has a great scene with "her husband" in the opening of the movie, but the real power is not the sex itself, it's the innuendos and voyeuristic situations, the scene in which the son catches a glimpse of her mom's tremendous breasts while having breakfast and tells her "I have the hottest mom in town", then Kay blushes, thanks him and covers her bosom. Also when Kay is in the shower and is spied on by her son is a landmark sequence in the Adult film industry. The part where Kay finally surrenders to her passion and has amazing sex with her son is both disturbing and extraordinarily exciting, the intercourse was both loving and hard, I mean sure it's downright wrong, but for a brief moment, you can actually share and understand the "kinkiness" of the situation. On a very personal note my own mother at the approximate age Kay Parker had in the movie looked very much like her, a beautiful elegant mature brunette with yet an incredible figure at 42, so in my wildest fantasy, (and I emphasize the word fantasy, which means not real), I related to the moment, imagine having sex with your own mother! But back to reality, if you can handle the subject this is a very good porno, if not the best, a classic which has so far survived the test of time, and has everything, an original plot, good actors, great sex, and of course the fabulous Kay Parker in the role that made her a part of cinema history, both mainstream and hardcore.
