Eugenie

The Legendary Erotic Classic...
Marie Liljedahl (the luscious star of INGA) is Eugenie, an innocent young woman taken to an island paradise where she is initiated into a world of pleasure and pain controlled by the sinister Dolmance (Christopher Lee). But when she surrenders to her own forbidden fantasies, Eugenie becomes trapped in a frenzy of drugs, sadomasochism and murder. Can a frightened girl in the grip of carnal perversion find sanctuary in the orgies of the depraved?

Jack Taylor (SUCCUBUS) and Maria Rohm (MARQUIS DE SADE'S JUSTINE) co-star in this legendary erotic classic from Jess Franco, the infamous director of VAMPYROS LESBOS and VENUS IN FURS. Based on the notorious novel PHILOSOPHY IN THE BOUDOIR by the Marquis de Sade, this rarely seen shocker is presented completely uncut, and remains one of the most controversial explorations of extreme sexuality in European cinema history.

OK! In this twisty little number a young girl is bartered by her father to a lascivious temptress in exchange for a night of carnal pleasure. The daughter thinks she is simply going off to visit a wiser lady friend on her remote island hideaway. Thus, she is stoked! WOW! A secret trip to an island paradise! This sure beats the convent school! Thus the stage is set. The sexy temptress shows darling Eugenie around and introduces her step brother, who is also on the island. They begin by having a nice lunch. Some music, some wine, OH did I mention that the wine was drugged? and Eugenie's sweet trusting nature taken advantage of by the step siblings? No? How foolish of me. For it seems that they are members of a bizarre sex-cult that revels in the works of the late Marquis de Sade! (big surprise!) And in fact, the entire trip has been scripted out by our sey blond seductress, down to the last cat o nine tails! HOWEVER, unbeknownst to her, a few script changes have been initiated by the dour cult leader, played by Christopher Lee. These changes leave dead bodies strewn throughout the mansion. What will poor little Eugenie do?


The movie is charming in its way. The decadent jet set, plucking whomsoever strikes thier fancy up and wisking them away to a torturous paradise. Smoldering looks abound with innocent laughter, as secret lsut meets headlong with youthfull innocence. The film has a grainy texture during the hallucinatory "dream" sequences, which actually made me smile (the texture, not the dream) as it served to further cloud the precision of the moment and give it that misty "hazed" look one gets when one has had one too many pulls on the opium pipe. Or so i have been told. In any case, the movie is fun and definetly worth a watch if you are a de Sade fan. yet another cult classic form Blue Underground!
