Naked
for Satan (Nuda Per Satana) by Lugi Batzella is a surreal journey into
eroticism, sex, madness and murder. It
is not a film which can be watched in any sort of “rational” manner, it is a
phantasmagoria of images including lots of nudity, eroticism and explicit sex.
While the explicit XXX scenes are nicely presented and fit well into the film,
the lesbian shots look less than believable, it is clear that these woman are
doing it for the money and really have no idea what they are doing and are just
making it up as they go along ! They spent a lot of time trying not to get
intimate with each other and when they do they seem to have no idea of how to
use their tongues - it especially looks rather peculiar when they spin their
tongues like kitchen mixmasters !
The
plot is suitably weird, a doctor is called out to an emergency call and
struggling through bad weather crashes his car at the same time another car
crashes down the road. They both go to the only building in sight, a castle. As
they arrive the world around them changes, time seems to be distorted and they
are transported into some sort of pain and pleasure palace run by Satan
himself.
While
this all sounds rather ridiculous and to be honest it is, the sheer insanity of
the plot makes the film somehow seductive. This is eurotrash cinema with an
edge, filled with perversity and madness, from sex with a candle to a woman attacked
by a giant spider after falling through space and time into a full size web
!
It
is so incredibly bizarre that you just have to watch it until the end and
wonder why this was made this time and time again. The orgy at the end is
especially strange with Seventies style dancing boys, piles of nudity and oral
sex and a climatic letdown as the male character realizes that Satan can be
destroyed by fire and a simple lighter saves the day !
The
movie is presented in widescreen format with English or Italian sound (Dolby
2.0). You can choose between Dutch, French and English subtitles.
