"Blind Beast" (1969)

Blind Beast (1969) is the first film I can remember that I would call disturbing. I will be writing a spoiler, so here is the unrevealing summary. A blind sculptor kidnaps a model to sculpt her. They eventually become intimate, and then do ever more extreme things to reach even more extreme tactile sensations. Before the film is over, there is mutilation and more. If this is one you intend to watch, go right to the images of Mako Midori, who shows breasts several times.

For those still with me, the sculptor lives with his mother in a studio. The mother helps him kidnap Midori, so he can indulge in the only pleasure he is interested in -- touch. She tries to escape, but is thwarted. Then she pretends to be interested in her captor to throw him off guard, and to irritate the mother. The two of them end up accidentally killing the mother. At that point, the sculptor rapes her repeatedly between sculpting sessions, and she begins to enjoy him. At the same time, she starts going blind due to being in the dark studio 24/7. She becomes hooked on the sense of touch as well, but finds that she needs more and more stimulation each time to keep getting peak sensations. This leads to whipping, biting, blood sucking, and finally amputation of all four of her limbs at her request.

Most of the action takes place on enormous nude sculptures that fill the middle of the studio. I am not sure what noted director Yasuzo Masumura was trying for here, but it is a very dark story based on a short story about a serial killer. Ten IMDB voters have it at 8.2 of 10. For what it is, it is very well done, but would not seem to me to have any crossover appeal. C.

    "La Bande des quatre" (1988)

    La Bande des quatre (1988), or The Gang of Four was, for me 155 minutes of boredom. It is the story of a group of female drama students all studying under a great teacher. Four of them live together. They keep getting better at acting. A former member of the household is involved with a man sought by the police, and a mysterious man befriends each of the girls in turn, giving them a different name, telling each a different story, and asking each about their friend.

    The criminal boyfriend and the mysterious man are supposedly there to give real life experience to the drama students, which they can then incorporate into their performances. According to the only review I could find, the film is really an advanced acting class. Unfortunately, subtitles didn't convey much of the information. The film did have some visual appeal, and Laurence Côte showed her breasts. I can't recommend this film to anyone who is not fluent in French, and even then, rent it at your own risk. No pace, thin plot, no peaks of excitement, and precious little nudity for a film with so many young actresses in it. C-.

    There are still a couple of new releases with today's street date, but I don;t think there is any nudity in them. I'll report on the others tomorrow. Today's project is the disappointing thriller "The Glass House"
    • Leelee Sobieski (no nudity). She went for a swim in bikini underwear, plus some miscellaneous stuff. I don't believe that is a slip in the first collage. Based on the surrounding frames, it is just a shadow (1, 2, 3, 4)

    Hankster
    Today's addition to Hankster's "Babes in Bondage" collection is actually from a mainstream movie! Geena Davis in the action flick "The long Kiss Goodnight" 1996.

    I'm not the bondage/torture expert, but I thought this was rather creative...she's stripped to her undies, tied to a wheel (I think this is the water wheel down at the old mill by the river), dunked into freezing cold water, and kept under for several minutes at a time.

    Of course, she is the hero and escapes all too easily, but that's besides the point. Overall, a good mindless action flick strengthened by Samuel L. Jackson's performance as a a low-rent Private Investigator.

    A tribute the the Austrian born Euro-star of the 50's, 60's and 70's by Arthur Figgis. Originally AF sent in about 80 images as a salute to one of his favorite actresses. I think I picked the best of the bunch (or at least, the most revealing).

    Here's a little breakdown:
    Link #4...topless
    Links 2, 5, 14, and 15...bum exposure (partial and more)
    Link #13...I really like this one (head shot only)

  • Actress Mira Sorvino has shockingly claimed some top Hollywood stars make love for real during movie sex scenes. The Oscar-winner says that some of her showbiz pals, who she refuses to name, have confided in her that they have had real intercourse in films - even though Sorvino herself admits no one has tried it on with her. She says, "Actors have proper sex in films. It does happen now and again, and other actors tell me that it does. I do believe that it happens. One actress told me she had made love during a very popular film. These people would not lie about their experiences."
