The Dark Side of a Woman was directed by Pierre Le Blanc, but by now, we all know that this is Bruno Mattei. When the rest of his Italian exploitation brothers were either dead, retired or relegated to making TV movies or pornography, Bruno was still out there. Here, he’s 74 years old and still making the kind of movies he directed throughout his entire career.

Jane Dimao (Yvette Yzon, who is seemingly the 2000s version of Laura Gemser for Mattei, appearing in Island of the Living Dead, Zombies: The Beginning (yes, the sequel is the beginning), The Jail: The Women’s Hell and the first film in this series, Segreti di donna) is back from America, working as a women’s sexual pathology psychologist, continuing the work that she studied with her mentor, American sexologist Nicole Wilson. Did you not see the first movie? Good news. Bruno is not above reusing footage.

Jane wants to experience these sexual pathologies for herself, and I have no idea why Bruno didn’t just call this Black Emanuelle 2005. This means that she goes to a swingers club, has sex in a spa and even makes love in front of others. However, when she tries to be a lady of the night, she’s assaulted because Italians love that in their movies. No, I don’t get it either and I’m Italian.

That said, Yzon always gives her all to these movies, and I love that Bruno was heading over to the Phillipines as an old man, shooting dirty—but not really all that filthy—movies on his digital camera and making movies that are nearly quaint when compared to the unleashed carnal depravity anyone can find on the internet.
