Available on DVD from Max's, LOVE'S ISLAND is Joe Sarno's companion film to his acknowledged classic FÄBODJÄNTAN. Sarno eschews here the star system that dominates his porno films and videos, opting for people who don't resemble actors. Exception, of course, is the star-making turn by Leena, a slim, blonde beauty who is revered to this day among Swedish fans for the pair of Sarno performances. (Her discovery is analogous to a decade earlier Leena (Skoog) a buxom blonde beauty who, alas, was wasted in stupid British films and was best preserved in endless magazine layouts and short loops).
Leena stars as Katrin, a literal force of nature, who seemingly lives up in the trees on this remote little island. Though the film is not a fantasy, not even as much as FÄBODJÄNTAN and its magical horn, she seems to be a wood sprite or other legendary creature.

The Debauchers (1970)
[Uncensored Version]

Subtitles: None
Length: 01:11:42
Resolution: 752x576 (DVD)
Size: MKV 1,40Gb
Genre: Drama, Sexploitation, Thriller, Adult

Its subject matter being the making of an "experimental movie", The Debauchers is an experiment itself: taking the tried-and-true (and cheap) Warhol/Morrissey invention of confrontational improvised dialog (SEE: any Ondine performance) and making it work in a nasty, hardcore domination opus. The film was difficult to watch, and frankly distasteful, but a la the in-your-face Italian movies of Alberto Cavallone, worth the effort. Terry Levene distributed the film back in the day, and it is one of his most unusual titles.
Plot hook is very cornball -the porno staple of a girl answering an ad for participation in an "experimental movie", and later ruing her own naiveté. This sort of ploy dates back to the exploitation films of the 1930s, with the girl from a small town answering a "no experience necessary" ad, coming to the big town and falling prey to white slavery/bondage, as in Elmer Clifton's still watchable "Slaves in Bondage".

Sounds like a natural -- a 70s female vampire opus from 60s erotica master Joseph Sarno. His best suburban exposés of the Eisenhower/Kennedy era featured smatterings of the occult, and one would think that the loosening of standards would set his art free. Don't get your hopes up too high, though. First of all, Sarno's favoured technique is to build up tension between characters using short dialogue scenes -- but here, the thick German accents and stiff acting render the script unfathomable. And Sarno doesn't really have the intense visual style (at least not with this cinematographer) requisite of the genre, despite the authentic Bavarian castle background. Nonetheless, Sarno fans will be amused by the recycling of his favourite tropes (candles, bongo drums, ceremonial chants and dances, carnal compulsion and betrayal), and vampiric completists may be amused by his idiosyncratic and more realistic take on bloodlust conventions. Just don't expect a lost masterpiece, and be prepared to put some effort into the viewing.

El Mirón y la Exhibicionista (1986)

Jess Franco and Lina Romay both directed this hardcore flick, although it seems all Franco with his slow moving camera and constant zoom shots. A woman (Romay) notices a man spying on her from a hotel room across from hers so she gives him something to look at.
This is basically three short films, ala three sex acts, put together with a short running time of 54-minutes. You can tell this is one of Franco's quickies that he filmed in a day or two but it features a nice score from Pablo Villa as well as being somewhat erotic.
Making this erotic might be Franco's greatest directing work considering Romay certainly wasn't in top form here. She's packing quite a bit a weight, which is rather strange because I've seen other flicks from Franco in 1986 and her look is quite different. Oh well, the crazy world of Franco.
