The SassyFlix Take
Proof there’s always room in 1970s New York for another desperate Italian with questionable job prospects.
Why Cult
This is Italian crime cinema with a distinctly sleazy New York porn milieu, crossing unfiltered Euro exploitation with American grit.
The film immerses you in the ruthless and desperate world of 1970s New York pornographers, with characters willing to do anything for survival.
Male and female nudity, including full frontal and simulated sex acts, push boundaries uncommon for even European genre cinema of its day.
Loss, violence, and vendetta run through the narrative, including accidental killings and deaths during sex—no one is really safe here.
