Featured review
A wash even for Rene fans
A desultory loop carrier that by this point has nearly fallen off the face of the Earth, CONFESSIONS OF A MADAME purports to be an in-depth study of the workings of whorehouses, but mainly ends up being an exercise in tedium.
Like all the most woeful examples of this genre, CONFESSIONS features a loopy female narrator, here playing a madame who purports to walk us through some of her more exotic experiences. Lounging around on various beds or against a bookcase while sipping endlessly from a small glass of wine, this no-name spouts endless nonsensical drivel, going on about who-knows-what as she introduces the various scenes. Her thousand-yard stare is almost unnerving enough to make these segments interesting, but alas, it's too little, too late.
The real bait-and-switch comes in the scenes themselves, the first three of which (of five) are extracted from the Rene Bond / Ric Lutze cheapie KIM COMES HOME. I'll leave the estimable _lor's review to summarize that one, but suffice to say each scene has been poorly re-contextualized to supposedly depict prostitution. No matter that the first scene, for example, shows a trio that is clearly supposed to be students and roommates - the narration steamrolls over it, insisting it's transactional lovemaking.
The fourth scene is a combo of field / shower sex lifted from the Danish XXXer THE HUNGRY HYPNOTIST, and the fifth I wasn't able to identify, though it looks like another Euro production. As a result of all this stolen footage, the majority of the film is washed-out and dupey, with bad contrast, poor detail, and tons of printed-in wear and debris. One wonders if this wasn't cobbled together by the producer of KIM, hoping to make another quick buck off his work (the film was also hacked together with the R-rated biker opus SATAN'S BLOOD into another cut-and-past monstrosity, so perhaps toying with this film was a weird fetish for someone.)
Whatever the case, this isn't worth anyone's time seeking out. Rene fans should look for the source material, which isn't much better, but will at least be a bit clearer and less grainy. The rest can safely stay far away and content themselves with the cut-and-paste advert featured on SWV'S XXX MOVIE HOUSE TRAILERS, Vol. 5.
