One of the director's early efforts

When one does not understand the language used in a film, sometimes the film can be hard to follow, but fortunately, not in this case because apart from some introductory dialogue between two drunks, the rest of the film is one continuous series of hardcore sex scenes with little narrative between them. For some fans, of course, this is what porn is all about. From the appearance and attitude of one drunkard, it is obvious that he is relating a story of how he came to be on hard times.

The rest of the action takes place at the titular Clinique des Fantasmes where all sexual problems are diagnosed and cured by relentless sex - some of it being really quite perverse. Just to be different one scene takes place in a boutique, much to the chagrin of the proprietor. Back at the clinic, it is therapy as usual with very intimate examinations and remedies. Sex toys come in all shapes and sizes such as snooker cues, ping-pong balls and the secretary (Barbara Moose?) gets a bottle well and truly jammed in a place it was never meant to go. The bottle idea would be used again in Adorable Lola. This is one of Gerard Kikoine's early films and he certainly starts as he means to go on.
