Aberraciones sexuales de una mujer casada (1981) User Reviews

Another hypnotic offering from Franco

[prohibited-name-1142 · 20 September 2003]

Wonderfully shot and wrapped in a warm score by Daniel White, this Franco flick is a must see. Shot in Portugal, in a forest similar to the one adorning the family castle in VIRGIN AMONG THE LIVING DEAD, it has a timeless feel, and the theme, centering around "open sexuality" inside a couple, is universal.

It is basically the story of Cecilia (Muriel Montossé), an housewife raped by three greasy thugs. She ends up enjoying the assault and it opens new horizons for her. She convinces her husband that seeing other people will improve their relationship, and off they are ! Orgies, rituals and lots of erotic scenes captured by Franco's sensual zooms later, they start dealing with the downside of sleeping around...

The incredible settings - particularly a beautiful and impressive villa with a breathless view over the ocean - and laidback love scenes contribute in making this one pure eye candy. A floral theme serves as a transition between scenes, and the gorgeous and dense vegetation composes a truly dreamlike imagery.

Lina Romay briefly appears in a very funny role and the movie, overall, is a guilty pleasure, a pleasure that a newcomer could find questionable, but that the true Franco connaisseur will approve, and most of all share.

This fabulously frothy femme-fest couldn't be any more voluptuously vainglorious!

I certainly won't beat around the bush, as it's usually better to make a clean breast of such openly fleshly matters, so I'm finally coming clean about my zealous appreciation of this moderately maligned, fabulously muck-headed Franco classic. I have long been fervidly fixated with maestro Franco's lower budgeted, higher-fleshed, lower-browed, plentifully bushed 80s pink-centric celluloid confections, and this especially revealing expose of premature female emancipation is a garishly exotic delight of onanistic overkill and penetratingly hole-sum entertainment! And while some more pedantically-minded, pudenda-pounding pundits are often too 'hardon' Franco's glossy-eyed expose of a morally liberated middle-class mademoiselle, I found his sensational 'Cecilia' to be pinkly endowed with one of the sweetest openings I have ever seen in such a languorously exotic 'lotion picture'!

Sinful Franco's luridly investigatory camera penetratingly leaves little to the viewers imagination, as what lofty flight of far-flung fancy could ever really grope to match the perfectly pulchritudinous presence of that effortlessly enchanting, sinfully statuesque starlet Muriel Montossé? With his fabulously frothy femme-fest, recidivist flesh-addict Franco couldn't be any more voluptuously vainglorious! 'Cecilia' is seamily stimulating and pleasantly degrading at the same time, which is, quite frankly, far more movie entertainment than a nimble-wristed wretch such as I deserve.
