Review:<\/p>\n

Considered by Franco connoisseurs as a companion piece to the human hunting tale Countess Perverse<\/strong>, How to Seduce a Virgin <\/strong>(aka Plaisir \u00e0 trois<\/strong>) is one of eleven films<\/em> Jess Franco directed (under the nom de plume Clifford Brown) in 1974.<\/p>\n

Using the same cast as Countess<\/strong>, this slick, luridly coloured film has a heavy emphasis on softcore behaviour, yet the story does feature a cruelly ironic finale. With horror implied through evil scheming, manipulation, and humiliating activities, former porn actress Alice Arno plays Martine Bressac, an imbalanced libertine freshly released from the booby hatch after Bobbitizing a lover. Back home with her loudly clothed husband Charles (in one scene, Robert Woods is decked out in a purple leisure suit and<\/em> yellow dress shirt), Martine trolls the beach in search of new a waif deserving a place in her \u201cmuseum\u201d \u2013 a basement filled with the preserved cadavers of victims frozen in moments of sheer erotic terror!<\/p>\n

The very touchy-feely couple soon plot to lure the 21 year old daughter of a diplomat, Cecile (model \/ porn thespian Tania Busselier), into a routine of debauchery before she too is preserved as one of Martine\u2019s objects d\u2019art erotiques<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Assuredly directed and sporting elaborate masturbation montages steeped in Sadean voyeuristic pleasure (not to mention beaver fur that would make Tinto Brass explode with delight), Seduce<\/strong> is also grounded by an unusually literate script, clean plotting, and a trippy lounge score that perfectly matches the marble mirror panels and pastel shades which decorate\u00a0 the couple\u2019s amazing country mansion.<\/p>\n

With garters and a blouse kept in place with garden twine, Franco\u2019s future muse Lina Romay plays the Libertines\u2019 dopey sex slave, communicating through loopy tonal eruptions; and smallish Alfred Baillou is the couple\u2019s gardener who\u2019s emotionally blunted by the memory of a suicidal bishop and his \u2018cracked egg\u2019 landing.<\/p>\n

Mondo Macabro\u2019s DVD sports a lovely transfer of a near-pristine print source, plus informative interviews with critic \/ Franco biographer Stephen Thrower and co-screenwriter Alain Petit. A great release that\u2019s mandatory for Franco and Eurosleaze fans.<\/p>\n
