Body Talk (1982)
2/10
An attempt at the tragic love tale
28 November 2015
A very dreary and depressing story of an older woman falling in love with a young penniless artist and learning that she will die soon. If that wasn't enough the parents of the guy also get in the the way upsetting the marriage. Most of the sex scenes are of the uninspiring aged female protagonist copulating with various random men while her rich benefactor is peeping on the scene through the dark hole in the wall. Watched it mainly for Kay Parker, but unfortunately her beautiful smooth mature body, her radiant warmth and bony profile are just shown for a couple of minutes, not enough to outbalance the rest.

Overall competently shot as you would expect from the period, showing some slapdash approach at times though. It's rather noticeable that the same room and bed was used for different scenes with only a slight alterations. A lot of obnoxious music throughout the movie, which seems to be a common curse of the genre - a try to mask the dubbing imperfections?
