Abat-jour (1988)



Yes, it's another Malù movie... but it's not just another Malù movie. This thing is so densely packed with naked women it's insane. None of it makes much sense, it's just deliriously erotic. Not quite hardcore, but it gets mighty close. One of Malù's first movies, and among her most explicit.
























































CHARACTERS
RATING: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7/10

REVIEW: Ridiculously erotic - it never ventures into hardcore, but is just relentlessly sexual. The actresses are smoking hot and constantly nude, providing wildly explicit material. Add to that, the weird vibe and you have yourself one helluva piece of erotica. Where it sucks is the multitude of story lines between the characters. I'm not saying they need to not have character backstories or subplots - but have them mean something. Whatever the case- the nudity is off-the-charts, so I suppose who cares. A total banger. Oh, and Baby deserves a standing ovation.


SYNOPSIS

Camilla (Malù) is a countess but her family fortune has since been dried up. She returns to a village in the Veneto with Eliana. Her father has inherited basically all the land in the village - and her aim is to seduce this man into marrying her so she'll have her family name restored. That's it. That's really all you need to know. Everything else - all the side stories and character connections - are all unnecessary. They're just vehicles toward nudity and sex. So, I won't bore you with the details of the various romantic entanglements. (They often don't make sense anyway.)

They arrive at a bar where we meet some of the local residents - all of whom seem to have a illicit sexual backstory. Take the girl at the counter - Lily. We flash back to Lily in the bedroom. (Unfortunately, several of the main actresses in this film are not identified.) Milena (Filly Bell) manages the bar. We'll see later that the establishment has a backroom where all manner of sexual shenanigans take place. Eliana introduces her father to Camilla. Antonio (Aldo Sambrell) is the rich guy who Camilla plans to conquer. Carla the maid dusts the bookshelves. Eliana introduces Camilla to Gianni (Gianluigi Ghione) at the docks. Eliana is secretly seeing Gianni - he typically slips in through her bedroom window. Eliana prepares for another rendezvous with Gianni. Carla the maid is having sex with the chauffeur. Camilla takes off her makeup and hears all the sex from the adjacent rooms. This gets her aroused. A surprisingly explicit scene as Camilla rubs herself with a brush handle.

Antonio, as expected, starts to take a liking to Camilla. He listens at her door that night. Camilla is in bed completely naked. Look who just popped in - Gianni. Breakfast the next morning is a little awkward - but things are going according to plan. Camilla speaks with Lily. (You'll remember her from the start of the film.) Lily describes the goings-on at Milena's backroom lounge - and the activities of a certain girl called "Baby". Baby (Baby Pozzi) is a cocktail waitress at Milena's establishment. On this evening, Baby entertains the guests by flopping around, laying on customers, and gradually taking off every stitch of clothing. [This scene had to be a full ten minutes, and it consists of no dialog, just Baby exposing herself to the room.] Here she utilizes a bottle of extra virgin olive oil. [This scene will go down as both the most awkward striptease and most amazing striptease in cinema history.] After drawing from a hat to see what happens to Baby, Milena (Filly Bell) hands the girl smoking a cigarette a cream pie. Baby gets a pie in the face. (Quite strange.) The next day, at the daytime cocktail lounge, Baby and the cigarette girl meet again - and things get uncomfortable.

Camilla goes to dance class. Camilla waits for Antonio by the fire butt naked. He lays her on the table, then picks her up and carries her to bed. Later, Gianni tries to grope Camilla - but she rejects him. Eliana is oblivious to Gianni's advances toward Camilla. Camilla straightens her stockings. Back at Milena's club... Baby is doing her thing. Milena and Baby have sex. Camilla and Eliana at the gym... [I love the shots of this gym. I could watch a whole movie taking place here.] Antonio catches Gianni groping Camilla against her will. He throws his ass out. Camilla's plan has finally worked. She's now co-owner of this entire town. Camilla - now in charge - waltzes in on Milena having sex with the chauffeur. In full dominatrix mode, she gets rough with Milena. She pulls her to the ground by her hair. And shoves her face in her crotch. Then she joins in. Antonio and Camilla are now a happy couple. See folks - money does buy happiness. Camilla makes sure her rich rancher husband is always satisfied. But Camilla is not to the type to stuck with just one man. She's back in the stables with Gianni. THE END
