Joy à San Francisco (1992)
Good Montages, Tasteful Intercourses
Although it is a softcore movie, there are some really memorable scenes in the movie. The pool scene takes place in the heroine's memory, and it's this feel of memory that adds to the erotic allure of the film. The director knows how eroticism works and its linkage to the experience of recalling a sweet past. (Later in the jail, the memories about the African scenes are very tasteful, too. In both experiences, the sadness of the moment and the beauty of the past are related by the color, lighting and atmosphere. But they are also contrasted by a feeling of guilt and the private ecstacy.) The first-person narrative in lovemaking scenes is credible, and as a male I come to identify myself with her female perspective. The character setting satisfies our fascination about a rich, submissive and lustful young woman. Well done.
