Tockinit not horrible nor great

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

goblinhairedguy Don't be fooled by the promos. This is just another pretty, formulaic exercise in voyeuristic (but not erotic) Italian soap operatics. Like so many in this line, it pretends to negotiate a daring theme, while providing enough symbolism and eye candy to make it seem superficially profound. The leading lady plays it straight, but Samperi couldn't even make Laura Antonelli erotic.

garwy i watched this in english as the 'dark side of love'.both the dubbing and the sleeve conceal the (crucial) information that the lead female and male characters are brother and sister, referring to patrizia as a 'governess'.while not a great film (some of the setting is lazy and a few of the scenes use nudity to cover for slack characterisation) it is a film with several near unique virtues.the sub-incest theme is not handled pruriently, instead the reticence of the two lead characters pushes them towards a talked flirtation (patrizia's brother talks her into a series of sexual adventures, she in turn talks to him about her sexual history).adding a clearly imaginary dimension to a straight skin-flick produces something a lot richer than either would have been on its own.definitely a must watch, if only for the way it makes you re-evaluate your response to so many other erotic movies

moebius gastone A wonderfully photographed erotic fairytale. A succesful woman and her younger-teenage brother. A love that can never be exposed or fulfilled... The film is a journey through forbidden emotions and desires. Definitely a film-to-watch for all the fans of erotic cinema...
