Our take
The death of censorship in some countries left a brief hope that erotic films could become legitimate cinema, and within this Radley Metzger was a celebrated, scandalous practitioner. This 1970 gem doubles as sly meta-commentary, which Warhol proclaimed a masterpiece. Where you land is up to you.
