Plot Summary
A kinkier stepsister to Camille 2000 (with which it shares the amazing production designer Enrico Sabbatini), this eye-popping trip into a world of pop art S&M is one of the most sensually dazzling films of the late '60s; no wonder Metzger rushed it out immediately under the imprint of his Audubon Films. Following a cryptic opening in which a frizzy-haired secretary and a mysterious accomplice have a deadly encounter with a man in an eyepatch, the story proper begins with the seemingly mild mannered Dr. Sayer (Philippe Leroy) convincing the sweet, innocent, and beautiful Maria (Dagmar Lassander) to join him at his home. Once there he initiates her into a series of exercises in bondage and discipline (though fairly mild considering the time period), which mostly consists of him spraying her down under a power hose, showing her a graphic slideshow while playing a tape of women screaming, and forcing her to cut her hair. Eventually Maria begins to become a more pliable partner in Sayer's game, and under her influence, he begins to fall in love. However, there's much more here than meets the eye. Like most soft erotica from Europe during the period, The Frightened Woman is low on plot and only features a few teasing bits of nudity. What makes it so powerful and compulsively watchable (even on repeated viewings) is the impeccable command of both visuals and sound by the filmmakers, with each scene offering a new delight. Whether it's the famous "Sex" sculpture (into which Leroy enters through the memorable vagina dentata and returns as a skeleton during one memorable fantasy) or Lassander's scorching dance in the swanky pad while wearing an unraveling gauze dress, this film tweaks the viewer's imagination and continuously peels off one layer to reveal another surprise underneath. Along with Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion, Lassander has never looked more stunning than she does here; take a look at her in Lucio Fulci's The House by the Cemetery to see what ten years of hard living in Italy can do to a girl. Special kudos go out to composer Stelvio Cipriani, who adds to the film's spell with his brilliant, infernally catchy lounge score.
Please bear with me my upload bandwidth is a little tight. Enjoy
