Excellent, a Must See

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

It's taken me a long time but I'm glad I persevered and finally procured a DVDs of this title. The origin is Italy and comes with two options, soft and hard. The soft option has no English soundtrack but the hard one does. Now I've been a fan of Rebecca Brooke for some years now and have gradually building up a collection of her work. I love her Joe Sarno stuff, especially "Abigail Lesley is back in town" and "Confessions of a Young American Housewife" where, although not explicit, she and her co-stars are believed to have had full sex on the shoot. On Metzer's "The Image" she went a stage further and dabbled in some hardcore. But believe me that's lightweight compared to this title. Rebecca and Beatrice Harnois really go for it from the get go in what is probably right up there with the best in this genre. The only down side is poor lighting in a couple of scenes which I'm assuming was deliberate. Probably sourced from VHS but if you want to see the best of Rebecca hardcore it doesn't get better than this!

With having discovered feature film "Adult" titles for the first time this year, (thanks to stunning titles such as Through The Looking Glass)I felt that with the last month of the year just about to arrive,that it would be a good to end 2013 on an excellent sounding,perverse note.The plot:Being desperate to help out their neighbour,as she recovers from an illness in a Switzerland hospital,young couple Paul and Gabrielle decide to look after her 17 year old daughter Felicia,by allowing Felicia to stay with them in their country house for 6 weeks.Picking up Feclica from the airport,Gabrielle and Paul are sadden to find,that instead of meeting the upbeat and lively teenager that they had expected, Felicia is in fact down beat,and extremely cynical.With currently taking photos for a calender,Gabrielle decides to make Felicia model for her,in the hope that it will help to "free" Felicia spirit.Whilst finding the modelling itself to be annoyingly stupid,Felica finds herself becoming increasingly attracted towards Gabrielle,which leads to Felica to begin planning ways that she can insert perversions into Paul and Gabrielle relationship.View on the film:Whilst some of the more…questionable moments in the movie would likely lead to a much different ending today, (with Felicia being arrested for being a sexual predator!) each of the cast members give tremendous performances,which help to make Paul,Gabrielle and Felica's fracturing relationships a joy to witness.Showing Gabrielle and Paul to be a bickering "old" couple,Mary Mendum and Jean Roche each give terrific subtle performances,with the ravishing Mendum showing Gabrielle to be a free spirit who is oblivious to Felicia's dark,interior motives,whilst Roche shows Paul's love for Gabrielle gradually reach the suffice,as he beings to fear that Felicia is going to tear them apart.Spliced right in the middle of Paul and Gabrielle's relationship, the stunning Beatrice Harnois gives a wicked performance as Felicia,with Harnois allowing Felica's initially harden appearance to soften,and reveal a devilish smile of a snake,who is about to attack her prey.Avoiding the easy opportunity of turning the movie into a sleaze fest,the screenplay by co-writer/ (along with Michele Ressi-who also edited the film)director Max Pecas, (whose dad Marc did second unit work for the title) instead roots itself in the drama of Gabrielle and Paul's crumbling relationship,which along with making the viewer actually care about the effect that Felica is having on their relationship,also gives the more intimate moments in the film a highly erotic charge.For the films eye catching,stylised appearance,Pecas uses the couple's country house setting to cover the movie in warm greens,browns and yellows,which along with creating a mood of the house being placed right in the middle of the wilderness,also gives the more "Adult" moments in the title an extraordinary sensual atmosphere,as Pecas begins to reveal how perverse Felicia's 1001 perversions are.

I didn't try to count them, but I think the "Felicia" character in this movie has somewhat less than 1001 perversions. Actually, there are only a few "perversions" on display here, and they are very 70's, very French,and VERY male ones.This the familiar story of an older but handsome man who has a beautiful wife (Rebecca Brooke), but is tempted by a younger girl, in this case the teenage daughter of his wife's friend who comes to stay with them (Beatrice Harnois, who looks like, but isn't, Leanora Fani). The twist here is that he is not initially interested in the sexually aggressive, petulant nubile (even though she spends about half the movie walking around their home stark naked), so SHE sets her sights on seducing the wife instead! But just to needlessly complicate matters, the guy is a schoolteacher who is being pursued by another scantily clad Lolita (played by an actress who looks like, but isn't, Annie Belle). This girl is one of his students and the niece of his colleague, who keeps bring her and her weird androgynous brother (who looks like, but isn't, the weird, androgynous kid from "Damned in Venice") to the couple's house. You would expect the whole thing would end in divorce, a lesbian conversion, and/or SOMEONE going to jail for corrupting a minor, but then this is a male fantasy above all else where there's nothing that can't be smoothed over by some hot three-way sex!I've never seen Beatrice Harnois before, but I guess she was in the infamous French film "Pussy Talk", and she was obviously somewhat older than her character here (she actually doesn't look much younger than her "mother's friend"). Rebecca Brooke (aka Mary Medum) was actually an American actress and one of the prettiest girls to ever do hardcore porn (although her hardcore career was limited to a couple scenes in Radley Metzger's "The Image"). Besides her role as the nearly mute, submissive in that notorious S-and-M classic,, she is best known for a a pair of Joe Sarno softcore films "Confessions of an American Wife" and "Abigail Clayton is Back in Town". The French director of this, Max Pecas, had a long career in "Eurotica", but like Jean Rollin, Jose Benzeraf, and some others,he was largely put out of business by the advent of hardcore, a genre he was simply far too talented for. He may not have had a grasp on realistic characterizations or believable action and dialogue, but he really knew how to do some beautiful visuals. (There's one especially impressive scene where he photographs the main couple making love underwater at night in a lighted swimming pool). This movie is not that "perverse" actually, but it is pretty erotic.

"Felicia" is one of Max Pecas' best movies. A happily married couple have their friend's pouty teenage daughter over for a few weeks in the summer. The girl teases, peeks, interrupts and taunts, and seduces. It's beautifully photographed and executed, hardcore but tasteful. Rebecca Brooke (Mary Mendum) and Beatrice Harnois are excellently ast.
