sorry for the mistakes!
11 days, 11 nights
With
a critical eye and in hindsight to say that "Nine ½ Weeks " was a bad
movie is a thing known worldwide as much as talk about its success and as
much as the fact that Joe D' Amato was a fucking genius.
Actually,
it was the world of Italian cinema to be brilliant, frequented by a
bunch of evil minds ready to follow the path of blockbusters. So
a year after the release of the itchy stories with Kim Basinger and Mickey
Rourke arrives "Filmirage" with a low cost version of the
well-known film with a story written by Claudio Fragasso and Rossella
Drudi.
In this clever work of Massaccesi, it shortens the time (nine and a
half weeks to eleven days) using english pseudonyms for actors and crew,
but it was really shot in the United States and has the good idea to
reverse the roles. Here, is the woman that is the evil mind, and man is the victim.
The
core could not, however, different of course, and is composed of a series of
erotic/bizarre adventures or at least try to be, including all of the
great classics of the genre: outdoor sex, inversion of roles,
sadomasochism, sex with food (honey to be exact) and ménage à trois .
Not an original story, predictable, but well-managed and structured by our
beloved Joe, who also works with a budget more than decent and with
much less erotic than his standard, showing the protagonist only in
topless and putting only two full nudity, one of a extra and the
other of the male protagonist (sigh).
The
game works well, doesn't exalt, this is true, upset with a soundtrack
80 's (matter of taste), but "Eleven Days, Eleven Nights " work also
for the beauty of the protagonist, who isn't Kim Basinger, is named Jessica Moore, was born in the Marche with the name Luciana Ottaviani, but it's a great view.
She
is the morbid Sarah
Asproon, who "catch" on a ferry the super-nerd Michael, an
accomplished designer, devoted to his job and to his fiancè
Helen, another nerd character, who is going to marry.
The
meeting with Sarah, however, opens to him a new world, outrageous, crazy and
makes him abundantly reflect on his relationship with his girlfriend. Left his life and go with the lovely and uninhibited Sarah? It can be a choice, but even the latter as well as having its good defects, hiding an incredible secret.
Returning to the main characters, it must be said that Jessica Moore has played in some
genre films, including "La Monaca Del Peccato" and " Top Model " a sort
of sequel of this movie, in which she harshly polemic with D'Amato for
some shots that she doesn't like . Apparently she left the scenes for love.
Mary Sellers who plays Hellen instead has a film career that continues today with small appearances. Joshua MacDonald, the nerd Micheal, soon disappeared from the world of cinema. Maybe he's still thinking about the body of the beautiful Sarah.
