Enzo Consoli, an Italian actor, made his mark in the world of cult cinema with performances in Spies Kill Silently (1966) and Operation Kid Brother (1967). His work in these films highlights the playful yet gritty essence of the spy genre during the 1960s. In Oedipus Orca (1977), Consoli further explores the boundaries of unconventional storytelling, embodying characters that resonate with the themes of exploitation and surrealism. His contributions to these films solidify his role in the vibrant tapestry of cult and grindhouse cinema.
Oedipus Orca
Oedipus Orca is the sequel to La Orca both directed by Visconti and starring Rena Niehaus. In La Orca a high school aged girl played by Niehaus is kidnapped and held for ransom, while the second movie Oedipus Orca is about her life with her family and boyfriend after she returns home. The movie begins with her return home. The exploitive side as the film series continues is that she is nude every few minutes. She once again uses sex to her advantage against a family friend. This movie has lots of flashbacks to the first film and deals with her emotional state a lot. The most memorable scene is when she visits the room she was held captive in and masturbates while recalling having sex with her captor.
