I am not sure how transgressive this peck on the lips compilation could have been in the late ‘60s, but I liked the idea behind the main character. The high-class brothel slice of life scenes are still interesting, even though I was expecting deeper psychological insights. Not a big fan of Marcel’s storyline and the conveniently ambiguous ending.

While this was really good, it is also a mild disappointment for me which probably comes down to personal taste. Aside from a few fantasy sequences and despite its - for a sixties movie - provocative subject matter, this is no doubt one of Buñuel’s more down-to-earth works. I very much prefer his films weird and confusing.

Certainly much more enjoyable to watch, not to mention better acted and directed, than recent delvings into that subject matter, like Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac (though that wasn't the latter's point).

A blunt surprise insofar as the movies stark depictions of both a young woman's eccentric erotic fantasies alongside a rather harsh alternative lifestyle. In the middle there is a very conventional and ordinary real life tale of a married couple where the husband has no idea what's going on within h More
