Directed by Brunello Rondi (Run. Psycho, Run), who wrote the story with Luciano Martino and Francesco Scardamaglia, this is about Andrea (Lino Capolicchio), the son of a rich publisher. He rebels by living a life of excess as a way of dealing with the death of his mother when he was a very young man. Beyond sleeping with anyone and everyone, he really wants to cuck his father and to have sex with his stepmother Mireille (Erna Schürer, Strip Nude for Your Killer) and her gal pal Carole (Colette Descombes, Orgasmo).
A giallo with no murder, this is about one man trying to ruin everyone through his desires - and need to film all of his fantasies - as well as him learning what happened to his mother, who he only sees in glimpses wearing white.
Also known as Schocking, there's a scene where Andrea dresses a black girl in a Klan hood to, well, shock you. Aren't you scandalized? There's no real hero or heroine here, unless you like the spoiled rich man who loves to use his camera to film women make love to other men, then burn the film while they watch.
It looks nice, though, and the Giorgio Gaslini score is solid. He also did the music for So Sweet, So Dead; Five Women for the Killer and was the original composer for Deep Red. When Argento didn't like the music, he contacted Goblin, although some of the original music is in the movie.
