Fantasies (1981)
3/10
Arty and dull

Warning: Spoilers
FANTASIES is an arty and dull would-be erotic romance starring the then-hot Bo Derek in the leading role. She plays a young girl who develops feeling for her own brother, played by the laughably non-handsome Peter Hooten who looks like he's wearing a curly fright wig. There are plot twists in store. Romantic scenes between the two are accompanied by annoyingly twee music.

This is a slow and unappetising product that tries very hard to be erotic but constantly fails to achieve anything. The scenes are long and dragged out and the film's exploitational and sexual aspects are far tamer than you'd expect. I thought this would be an EMMANUELLE-style movie but instead it feels much like an art-house romance. The Greek travelogue locations are nice but everything else about this one has dated.
