Shining Sex - 1976 - 6/10
A reserved couple invite a cabaret dancer back to their rooms.
Threesome, she assumes. Except it is anything but.
The female is an inter-dimensional, studying human behavior, the male is her servant.
Early on, the dancer is smeared and drugged with ointment.
This will inevitably kill her, but first she is tasked to assassinate three.
The plot in a nutshell, is SciFi, leaning toward Alphaville minimalism.
This is a lethargic, dreamlike mood piece, sopping with fluids.
Sex is used as control, seduction, extermination.
Losing track of time, which is a theme, equates to losing life.
The obliterating power of the long night, that grows into the lost weekend, then the missing week.
For sybarites, voyeurs, and fans of Jess Franco.
