I've read about this movie lots of times and finally got around to seeing it on DVD today. I basically expected something totally disappointing, weakly made and very dated. Poor acting. But which had gotten popular because there was a dearth of something along these kinky forbidden lines. I was wrong on most of these counts. Unfortunately not all. It is well-filmed, so if it could have been well-filmed, why could there not have been a better script? The one male lead (Rene) is weak, a pretty boy with a thing for his older stepbrother, sounds very suspicious of do-I- have-to-spell-it-out? Movie is in dismal need of character motivation that would give the viewer a feeling of involvement with the on- screen debauchery. It falls into the porn trap, a parade of flesh but with no heart. Ah, A PARADE OF FLESH WITH NO HEART. I nailed it! All movies should have their audiences rooting for the protagonists immediately. This one doesn't inspire that. We just stand on the outside looking in.
