Overview

Dagmar Lassander stars as Maria, a journalist kidnapped by a devious doctor (Philippe Leroy) who delights in enacting sadistic S&M games. Dr. Sayer’s prolonged campaign of degradation pushes Maria right to the edge but she soon begins to subvert him, revealing shocking intentions of her own.

Stylish, imaginative and deliciously twisted, Piero Schivazappa's kitschy '60s erotica-fest boasts a parade of incredible pop-art sets and production design, marking it as one of the most visually excessive delights from the golden era of Italian cult cinema.
