I thought I'd give this erotic anthology a go based on the director's standing in arthouse circles, but I was disappointed. It's well shot, certainly, with a kind of visual quality and composition that you only find in European cinema in the mid 20th century, but also near plotless and quite shallow and vapid as a result. There are five stories in total, one of which - about a legendary woodland beast - the director would later expand to feature length. Others include a girl trapped in a room, Lucretia Borgia, Countess Bathory, and an encounter on the beach. I was hoping for more horror content especially in two of the stories, but it's non-existent.
