I haven't seen Roger Derouillat's "straight" films, but this porn effort reveals some talent. Of course, it holds little interest to anyone beyond fans of Euro XXX.
Very familiar porn starlet Erika Cool (I've seen her in SEX ROULETTE, HITLER'S LAST TRAIN and BORDEL SS) is introduced as new bride Bernadette, carried over the threshold by her red-haired husband Monsieur Maury, who proceeds to rape her! The scene is enacted softcore, not hinting at the XXX to come.
Cool's acting is up to snuff as she loudly screams and carries on trying to resist him, and throughout the film she manages to remain in character no matter how outlandish the porn content gets.
Upstaging Cool is her blonde housekeeper with a penchant for wearing sexy black stockings on the job. She's introduced masturbating in the kitchen, a scene that later continues conveniently to using a huge cucumber and other vegetables to jam into her vagina.
M. Maury tells of his marital troubles to his best friend the doctor (Jean-Louis Vattier, familiar French XXX star who's had many films exported to the U.S.). The two guys go to Maury's home, undress and a shocked Bernadette spies them making love. The homosexual sex is not shown at all, strictly off-screen, as Bernadette overcomes her shock and masturbates watching them.
Maurice is a long-haired (and long-cocked) stud who the blonde maid seduces, accounting for probably the film's most arousing footage.
Meanwhile, Beatrice goes home with Laurence and latter's husband, who promptly put her in bondage and subject her to rape and sexual torture over a prolonged period. Erika is effective at protesting, but of course comes to enjoy it, this being porn.
Just to keep the pot boiling, auteur Derouillat has the good doc make a house call visiting Bernadette, and humping her with what turns out to be a very big dick, his previous homosexual proclivities notwithstanding. In porn, full speed ahead!
Red-headed hubby returns and catches them in the act, causing him to slap Bernadette down. But within seconds he sees the light and a threesome ensues. Derouillat includes kinkiness -Bernadette humps her husband in the posterior with a vibrator (softcore style) but eschews once again any homosexual content, as the two guys focus on the lady rather than each other this time around.
The blonde maid gets back to work, phoning up various folks for a big dinner party. Naturally it's an 8-person orgy, with Bernadette as the uninhibited centerpiece (pun intended). She interrupts the diners, walking in stark naked carrying a tall layer cake topped with candles. The folks blow out the candles and with cake atop her midriff, sex and food is mixed in the manner of LA GRANDE BOUFFE.
Lest this sound like merely perfunctory porn, Derouillat stylizes his set piece finale with all sorts of interesting shtick. He starts with each person at the dinner table in turn gazing conspiratorially at the camera; later has the camera spinning around and around the dining table with admirable technique and uses other dramatic techniques like top shots to make the orgy memorable. Entire film is scored with light jazz that helps create and sustain a sexy mood.
This all makes me want to see Roger's debut mainstream film LES VOYANTS, an unfortunately obscure and presently unavailable title.
