Review of Erotique

Erotique (1994)
6/10
Four episodes, in descending order of quality
12 February 2023
One of the very few film anhtologies directed exclusively by women: unfortunately, only one of them, Lizzie Borden, manages to tell a story in the allocated (short) time. Her episode is funny, relatable, and sensual (***) The second segment starts with an intimate lesbian wake-up scene involving the sublime Camilla Soeberg who sets the screen ablaze, but after that it goes nowhere...slowly (**1/2) The third episode is odd, incoherent and spoiled at the very start by a near-rape scene; it is also awkwardly filmed in English, when it should have been in Portugese (**). The fourth is the most "arty" and explicit, but also the most boring of the bunch (*1/2). The overall rating is hovering between a 5 and a 6 out of 10, but I decided to go with a 6 mostly on the strength of Borden's contribution.
