Quick Answer

What is Africa Erotica: A Happening in Africa about?

Africa Erotica: A Happening in Africa is a 1970 France/Belgium/USA adventure drama directed by Louis Soulanes and Zygmunt Sulistrowski about a Parisian photographer sent to Africa to investigate the disappearance of two reporters and capture exotic images with a chosen model.

Programmer's Pick

This is what you get when Parisian chic meets the untamed jungle: a film where the camera lingers as much on bare skin as on the landscape. Between an amphibious car, a missing couple, and a cast ready to shed their inhibitions, subtlety takes a back seat to spectacle.

Overview

When the Paris-based agency 'Reporter Photos' loses contact with a reporter couple in Africa, they dispatch photographer Poran to the continent. His assignment is twofold: track down the vanished colleagues and select an attractive model to accompany him for a photographic report. Their journey takes them deep into the African jungle, where the line between work and pleasure blurs. Along the way, they encounter a mix of alluring adventures, unpredictable wildlife, and men whose intentions range from helpful to overtly flirtatious. Blending eroticism with expedition, the film teases both the dangers and the temptations of venturing into the wild for both professional and personal pursuits.
