Aphrodite

Some of the nudity and sex was superfluous, rather like what was added to Caligula. Still, Valerie Kaprisky is a treat for the eyes. Horst Bucholz is the man who sets things in motion, while trying to debauch Kaprisky. Capucine is in the cast as well but don't blink or you'll miss her. Set prior to World War I, a group of libertines meet on a Greek island to act out an erotic novel. The search for secrets goes on while everyone else is "distracted". The good far outweighs the bad in his erotic spy film.

THE RICH HAVE TO ENTERTAIN THEMSELVES AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY SO THEY DECIDE TO PUT ON A GREEK PLAY, EVERYONE TAKES A CHARACTER, THEY DRESS UP, SPEAK THEIR LINES, AND IT ALL ENDS IN A DRUNKEN ORGY. SOME SENSUAL NUDITY AND FAKE SEX, BUT NOTHING EXPLICIT OR TRIPLE X.... POOR QUALITY VIDEO IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS DUPED FROM A VHS TAPE... DIALOGUE IS FAIRLY INTERESTING, COSTUMES AND THEIR MANSION IS GREAT, AND THE WOMEN AND THEIR DRESSES ARE BEAUTIFUL...

I liked it.

This is fantastic erotic film. The high quality and budget, the superb actors, make this an experience not to be missed.

great movie just what I was looking for

Dont even bother, just look at the product specs at the running time. The difference between 88 and 90 minutes might not seem like much but for this movie its the whole cake. If I just wanted to see Valerie standing naked in front of a mirror I would download a picture off the internet. What you are looking for is the orgy which contains things rivaling Caligula.

I pre WWI aristocratic friends re-enact the novel "Aphrodite"in a sumptuous seaside estate on a Greek isle. Naturally, the virginal Kaprisky is assigned the role of Aprodite. The women are all extremely beautiful and, for the most part, the sex is erotic and sensuous. However, there are a few scenes with male genitalia in the shadows that some may object to.All in all, I enjoyed the erotica.

There are several elements about this movie that are in direct conflict in my mind. One, the pre-WWI setting and pace as the movie starts gives you a feeling, that certain elegance is there, and by the intrigue that starts developing that the movie is going to be more complex. Then, somewhere almost at the middle you watch this work fall apart. Some by having this scheme developed by a "Master Mind" against an antagonist, that I can only describe as a "Buffoon" on his better days, but happens to be of Royal Position and Owner of the retreat in which this story takes place. Then to add to my frustration, with exception of two additional characters played by good actors doing their best in the supporting roles, the rest are lightly coaxed into this " play " within the story contradicting the morals they displayed but, somehow, without explanation they are willing to shed and participate in. But then, I am also a big fan of Valerie K., and look for almost any excuse to see anything that she has made. And the version that I viewed is also (Unrated), which has several and in detail orgies of a graphic sexual content that rivals anything released since. You'll just have to watch it and decide for yourself!.
