Movie Reviews of Lady Libertine
Movie Review: Dig the snazzy menswear
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a pretty bad movie. Basically it's a kind of historical soft porn, set in some vague time between maybe 1780 and 1900 (and towards the earlier, I think) - I can almost hear some brainless enthusiast saying "You know, the olden days.."
Others have commented on the ridiculous plot, where the young woman dressed as a boy wouldn't fool anyone with normal vision. The face alone is totally feminine, never mind any other imperfectly concealed geographical features.
And I don't even remember what the erotic episodes looked like! Had to resort to fast-forward in the more boring parts.
So why two stars instead of one? Because there are some really attractive scene settings, quite enjoyable to look at, and for anyone who likes elegant clothes, the men's wardrobes are a treat! Sometimes I wish we could dress like that today. Of course, it implies a large servant class to track of all the different items - the vests, cravats, lace, ruffles, buckles, etc etc. not to mention the perpetual cleaning and ironing. Also, you'd want to be a person not harried by the pressure of time, since you would not get dressed in the time it takes you today to pull on a pair of Dockers and a polo shirt.
As you may have gathered, I am one who somewhat regrets the spread of "business casual" in the office. Not one of those who harbor a deep animosity against that pleasantly colorful item, the tie. I have 30+ hanging in my closet that never see any use...seems like a waste. Oh well.
If this review seems to have rambled rather far from its subject, it's simply because there isn't much there to write about!
Summary of Lady Libertine
THE INFAMOUS EROTIC SAGA AN ASHAMED STAR TRIED TO STOP!Famed French TV game show hostess Sophie Favier - in one of her earliest and most revealing roles - stars in this boldly sexy epic about a cross-dressing teenage orphan named 'Frank' (Jennifer Inch of SCREWBALLS) who is adopted by a handsome nobleman (Christopher Pearson) with his own strange urges. But when the sultry virgin's gender-bend is revealed, her deflowering unleashes a shocking torrent of voyeurism, violation, sadism and submission that will blur the line between pleasure and pain forever!
Also know as FRANK AND I, this 1984 Playboy production ignited an international controversy when Sophie Favier unsuccessfully sued to stop its long awaited re-release. Her court loss is a victory for Skinemax fans everywhere, as LADY LIBERTINE can now be presented uncut and uncensored for the first time on DVD in America!
