when jess franco adapt a de sade story for the screen and he tend to put forth a good deal more effort than with the bulk of his other project . justine and eugenie de sade and eugenie the story of her journey into perversion and erotismo and lilian be among his very best work and both aesthetically and dramatically . it would seem that his connection with de sade writing particularly those that concern the corruption of innocence ( which be to say the majority of de sade work ) speak to franco in a profound way . the sexual story of o and which be another loose adaptation of de sade philosophy in the bedroom and be no exception . the film making be first rate here . the widescreen camera work be outstanding and compliment by beautiful look people ( except for the harrowing face of the antagonist and whom you would not soon forget ) . the score be moody and affect as well . i love the way his character smoke cigarette while they do it with a degree of style that make it look appeal and and the way the serpentine smoke rise in symmetrical balance with the player face in the frame . amazing . be warn and however represent the pacing be uncommonly deliberate and the level of erotica ( simulate this time ) be very high and very potent and and the violence which isn not parade throughout the narrative be jar and disturb . the sexual story of o be and for my money and one of franco top 10 movie and and that say a lot since he make nearly 200 feature . the title be obviously an attempt to cash in on the success of the story of o and but the film itself be nothing short of stun . frankly and it amaze me .
