My friend Rino Di Silvestro delivers here another very convincing slice cinema that cannot be missed by any connoiseur of filth. What can you expect from a director who made the wonderfull "Werewolf woman" and has other films in his filmography as "Deported women of the ss" ? the answer is : much. Here Rino gives an INsight of the life of the prostitutes: the film starts pseudo-docu like, a man interviews a girl when she did start as a slut-she gives him an answer-goes away and the man says "i´ll make perhaps a visit.."--then the credits start- a film by rino di silvestro.. yes this is (very)gooooooooood... A man drives through the prostitute "district" asking the sluts he´s interested how much they want (among them also a prostitute performed by Orchidea de santis, but she´s too expensive..). He finds a suiting Prostitute who´s also a "fair" price, it comes to the intended "transaction" but in the next scene the Prostitute is dead-this leads to Police investigation and the Who/Whydunnit question. Naturally the police find to find out who the Murderer is and interviews all the sluts what they know about her."Surprisingly" they get very little information, everybody doesnt want anything to do with it, they find out that the victim was not really a "profesional" slut just a student. Her fiancee has an alibi but is a suspect. A sleazy photographer (performed by the incredible luciano rossi) who besides sells some prostitutes to other people ,blackmails an older man with his pictures that he has made with him and the murdered victim, the older man knows who the murder is, coz he was a voyeur who enjoyed to watch while the girl did it with other people and he was also there when the murder happended. Technically the film is quite decent made, the insight of the life of the prostitutes what di silvestro gives here is simply terrific! (the giallo plot is rather of secondary interest)this contains naturally some sleaze, and some incredible dialogues Alone the scene with the male-slut who dresses as a woman is priceless! Orchidea de santis in the role of the prostitute is also terrific! in a scene there´s a big discussion that she insists her customer has to use a condom, coz she gets so easily pregnant. Her customer has a "terrific" ideja for this and takes her from behind... after this his buddies come with their motorycles... Ok to write ALL the good films about this film would be to much to write here (why not deepen the subject and write a book about the sinema of rino di silvestro?) A terrific film from a terrific director.

Incredible cinema from fernando di leo (one of his last films) : A deserted place-somewhere out of the city, Joe Dallesandro in best prehistoric "caveman" vein lurks around and attacks one man with a big,fat stone. Another man, he throws the stone on him but he doesnt hit, the man sets up a fight with dallesandro and finally loses his life.. then dallesandro drives the car-.The credits and the music of luis bacalov start... the viever notices, its going to be an amazing "event"... The plot continues when a man with his wife and her horny sister paola (performed by Lorraine de selle) are arriving at a small house for the weekend. Dallesandro not far away from here, first spies around the house and watches through the window that lorraine has an affair with her sister´s man dallesandro sees his chance when de selle is alone at home, making outside a sunbath he hits her, brings her into the house and after she wakes up he wants immediately a coffee(!) After some small talk dallesandro rapes de selle who then afterwhile says that she even enjoyed it an ungood surprise awaits the wife and the man..needless to say. one highlight of the film when dallesandro is forcing de selle and the man to have sex, while the whole time he points his riffle at them and gives comands -quote(to de selle): " and you show what we men like.." later it comes to a ultra pathetic pseudo-romance between dallesandro and de selle´s sister, but still the end of film leads to a pure tragedy... Technically the film is obviously very low budget-nearly amateurish, Dallesandro makes a totally over(and under)acting performance but he´s very entertaining, the actress of de selle´s sister is completely unconvincing (probably she never "acted" before) about de selles role i can say just the very best: most of the film she´s completely naked, so this is doubtless her best role! if you see her in this film and her other flicks as the bruno mattei films for example you note that nothing is too low for this actress-and i dont mean this negative! All in one a film that i like a lot, probably its not for everybodys taste..

Politically and Objective, Subjective viewed this film is a kind of insult for every drug consumer (and i mean every drug: illegal and legal)and suits actually well the political"comedy" concerning this theme. Castellari shows here a strong stereotype world of the "drugscene" that i cannot associate with the word intelligence especially with such a theme(though funny it is). Here we have the "typical" junkie whos halfcrazy coz he doesnt get his "medicine", and the tough b*****d dealer who beats the s*** out of everybody when it comes to money. it gets then "socio-critical" when the police says how many poor people die due the use of (illegal)drugs (fine that its unimportant how many die due excessive alcohol consume-especially when the state gets money for it) Naturally if you dont take it seriously this film is quite entertaining: fabio testi here who plays a cop who goes undercover in the drug scene, wears most of the film a cap and some priceless wildleather boots(!) The (psychedelic)music from goblin is great, and is a perfect start for the film Needless to say that some decent action is also included here. Patrizia Webley the sleazy blonde, has here a short cameo as one of the lesbian customers of sherry buchanan -who gets her money for the drugs by selling her body. Yes, its a "mondo candido"!..
