Programmer's Pick

This is 1960s exploitation cinema at its most direct: no moralizing, just a parade of confessions, flashbacks, and boundary-pushing kinks. If your taste runs to the clinical and the carnal, The Abnormal Female delivers a full inventory of sexploitation staples—all under the watchful eye of a psychiatrist more curious than shocked.

Overview

The film explores a mosaic of taboo scenarios: a sadistic dominatrix asserting control over her partner, a married woman seeking satisfaction through risky encounters with strangers, and a teenage nymphomaniac unable to curb her appetites. Meanwhile, a married couple navigates open relationships and threesomes in an attempt to rekindle their passion, with one partner seeking fulfillment beyond the marriage bed. Set against the backdrop of late-1960s America, the film is unabashed in its depiction of unconventional sexuality and shifting relationship dynamics.
