If you’re looking for an example of a cinema artist who has carved out a unique niche and made films with integrity, Joe Sarno is your guy. During the ‘60s, when most exhibitors and distributors would have been perfectly happy with an hour and a half of naked flesh followed by a “The End” card, Sarno had begun making daring, challenging films that were much, much better than they needed to be. A psychology major in college, he directed erotic movies with strong moral and archetypal underpinnings. His films are full of mind games, secret rituals, role playing, masks and strong, often dominant female characters. Wow. That’s all we can say about Joe Sarno’s mind-blowing erotic masterpiece. It’s the story of a quietly desperate suburb, the kind of staid, puritanical, thoroughly unhappy town full of attractive but aimless couples that provides so much kindling for the flames of lust in Sarno’s films. This time the torch is lit by the titular town tramp Abigail Lesley, who was hounded out of town two years earlier after being caught with a married man. When she comes home again, all those unresolved erotic demons rise, stretch and begin their frolics anew. (Lars)
