Cécilia (1983)

 

A Jesús Franco film about a woman who is raped and subsequently embarks on a sexually free lifestyle which compromises her marriage. One of the more uninhibited roles for Muriel Montossé who spends nearly every scene entirely naked.

Cécilia (Muriel Montossé) is the rich wife of a diplomat.  She gets a ride from her chauffeur 

Cécilia likes to tease the hired help

Kam (José Valero) watches, but doesn't seem too happy

Cécilia starts to realize that Kam isn't taking her on the right route.

No, he's driven her to the backwoods where he lets two men enter the backseat and rape Cécilia.

Cécilia jumps into the lake and then gets in the car - driving it back to the estate herself.

The servants are shocked when Cécilia returns driving the vehicle completely naked

Her husband André (Antonio Mayans) rushes to her side and carries her to the bedroom

The next day Cécilia tells André that the rape has changed her.  She wants them both to live a sexually liberated lifestyle. 

Cécilia thinks back to when she first met André.  She was introduced to him by her uncle (Olivier Mathot).

They fell instantly in love and were married

Back to present day - Cécilia wants André to swing like her.  So she works her gay aristocrat friend Antoine (Antônio do Cabo) to get him to have sex with a black girl (Ana Paula).

It works.  Cécilia walks into the room and sees André having sex. 

It gets her aroused; Cécilia caresses herself then joins in.

André loved the experience and thanks Cécilia for opening his eyes to sexual freedom.  They take a boat trip with the owner of a sex club (Lina Romay)

  

They have a weird party and the sex club owner does her routine

Disturbingly, her live sex show is with her son (!)

Cécilia and André join in, and it turns into an orgy

  André has to go away for diplomat duties, leaving Cécilia home alone and bored

She walks around naked for a bit

She takes a bath

Cécilia notices some of the household servants outside

She goes to the servants quarters, strips naked and lets them gang bang her.

Cécilia horseback rides naked on the beach

Kam has returned and they have sex on the beach

Cécilia strolls back to the estate naked and horseless. I told you Muriel Montossé was naked throughout this picture.

André has returned from his trip and finds Cécilia wandering naked; she says her horse took off without her.

Cécilia cleans up then has sex with André in the tub

They go to watch Lina Romay at her club

Cécilia is hammered; drunk off her ass.  She claims she can perform better.

Cécilia can barely make it to center stage without falling down.

Cécilia gets drunker and takes off her clothes

André has had enough of this humiliation and tries to pull Cécilia away, but she resists. This incident is lifted almost exactly from another Franco film Emmanuelle Exposed (1982) where Muriel Montossé does the same thing (gets drunk, gets naked in public, and embarrasses her aristocrat hubby).

Some rather odious and threatening looking characters watch from the back.

André is finally able to pull Cécilia offstage, but not without a long humiliating struggle.

Cécilia is dumped by the side of the road

Remember those odious characters?  They've followed Cécilia and are here to rape her.

Cécilia wakes up to find Antoine and his black girl friend above her, taking care of her.

Cécilia is told that André has left her to stay with family; she's devastaed.

But André returns. Cécilia greets him in the nude and they make up. THE END  

It doesn't get much better than this for fans of  Muriel Montossé; this actress was fully on display from start to finish.   The story was okay I suppose, but this is really all about Montossé.
