Screen 18 of 18

While Franco is not on the same level as Lynch when it comes to film making (in my opinion and I’m sure in the opinion of any serious film student), having watched “Venus in Furs” twice, I’ve come to appreciate the overall quality of this most unusual film.

Aside from the literal content of the film, much of the greatness of the film comes from it's aesthetics; specifically it's visuals and it's soundtrack. I also really enjoyed Barbara McNair’s title song “Venus in Furs” which she sings at various times throughout the film as well as at the end.

If you are looking for the Sacher-Masoch novel, don’t be deceived by the title. This film has nothing to do with the 1869 classic. But perhaps it is fitting that exactly 100 years later, Commonwealth United forced Jess Franco to loosely incorporate the Sacher-Masoch character Wanda, a woman adorned in furs, into his movie about a jazz trumpet player. The end result was that Jess Franco, a man known for making movies about lesbian vampires, women in prison, zombies and other sexploitation themes, finally made a movie that is worthy of any serious film aficionado’s collection.
