The only reason I watched Roxanna was the same one that most people had I believe, the Saturday Night Wrist album by Deftones, in this case a screenshot of the underground movie was used on the cover and is a reference among the band's fans.
But the movie is too weak, the premise that a woman suffers from nymphomania and drug abuse is too complicated to be worked out so poorly.
Amidst the sex scenes is a narration of a mysterious woman (who was probably Roxanna's sex partner) describing who the protagonist is, why she does what she does, and how she is feeling doing it, however , in addition to the sensual voice disturbing the viewer's focus, she transforms this tragic situation into something to delight in.
The acting of the main actress is also deplorable, whether in the sex scenes, scenes where she is high or the melancholic ones, it's hard to hold back the laughter seeing the girl moving like a puppet doll or forcing a cry.
I don't know if this was the director's intention, but these complications that Roxanna goes through seem more like a way to promote fetishes in mentally unstable people than to convey a message. The only compliment I can give the work is the montage in one of the scenes where a psychedelic music plays in the background while scenes of Roxanna being violated and her suffering after the act are interspersed (too bad they make this scene last 10 minutes).
An addendum: Watching the film with the soundtrack of the album that pays homage to the film makes the experience hundreds of times better, but in this case it would not be worth the film.
