Take Me Naked (1966)
6/10
Between artsy Thriller and Sex Talk
1 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
"Take me naked" tells the story of a homeless man who is lacking human interaction and is thus beginning to fixate himself on a woman across the street, which happens to be in her own way very sexual. When his desire is growing stronger, events start to possibly turn dangerous.

This is what I would call an early indie approach to a dark erotic thriller. I can easily imagine the story being extended and turned into a Blockbuster with the possibilities of modern cinema. As of now, we find a somewhat unbalanced mixture between a classical thriller, a twisted mind and homosexual eroticism. The language is carefully chosen and consists of monologues only, which is part of the charm but at the same time can prove exhausting because this way it is more difficult to follow the plot and the whole movie becomes unnecessarily grievous.

All in all this is a nice small piece that is far more than just another sex flick. You see that the film is quite old and in certain points other solutions would probably be chosen today. But still someone put a lot of heart and thought into this project and you can tell that the ambitions were high.
