sorry for the mistakes!
Here we are with one of those films whose title gave
everything to the viewer. At least much more than the story itself. A decamerotic
in some ways courageous, because it comes out of the time, in 1975 that had
already filed the erotic stories that gave to the "Decamerone" of
Boccaccio the fame of a publication by the "Ediperiodici" in addition
to have trivialized the ideas of Pasolini.
The director Lucio Dandolo who in 1973 directed
"I racconti di Canterbury n.2" other decamerotico and in 1971 the
western "Il suo nome era Pot" represents, given the short career, a
sort of mystery, as much as who is the Bernarda (in some Italian slang it mean
pussy) of the title (the solution, perhaps, we'll write to you at the bottom).
Because in the end there is no character named Bernarda and "maybe",
we can think that, thanks to the alternative title here, as indeed in the other
movie of the genre, they talk about pussy.
Easy intuition isn’t? Well, in fact, this film does
not differ from the style of the genre and puts in a row a series of erotic
stories more in intent than in execution, whose link is an Exorcist named Magus
(oh well great effort to find the name) which tells these stories to two bumpkin
who brought him a girl to be subjected to spell/exorcism of love.
Therefore, behind a curtain Magus gets to work with
special "spells and exorcisms", in short, he has sex with the girl
and tells between pauses episodes to the other two.
The first tells of a pair of two newlyweds whose
parents try to teach to them what they must do on their first night. Then we
have Eleonora (Mariangela Giordano), faithful wife, threatened by Sigismondo,
who tries with every trick to take her to bed. However, the only one who
combines something is a witch.
There is a priest who investigates, with great effort,
on the sins of a brothel, then a man who believe to be the most beautiful in
the world but who is actually ugly, (a story in which there is a brief
appearance of Salvatore Baccaro). Again, the problems of erection of Messer
Giannetto (Renzo Rinaldi), cheated by two guys and finally come the legendary
Mario Brega. He is the knight Mirafiore, "for a curse wounded in honor".
A curse that leads him to irresistible sexual instincts whenever he smells
garlic. He rapes the women of the castle, which however (just to give the usual
wrong message) feel pleasure and are often found in the kitchen. Some tits here
and there and the absolute absence of lighting in the workshop of Magus (effect
certainly worsened by the not brilliant version of the film we have seen) and passes
the minutes with stories that sometimes have fun but often are too long.
Ah ... who is Bernarda? According to what Mariangela
Giordano told to the TV program “Stracult” she was her!
