Margot (Natacha Amal) has come back to Parma to get revenge for being raped when she was younger, working with her former love, Giulio (Kaspar Capparoni) and Judge Bocchi (Robert Hossein). Those men who attacked her are the wealthiest and most powerful people, yet she’s very determined.
This was directed and written by Alberto Bevilacqua and is based on his novel. He also wrote Atom Age Vampire, Black Sabbath, Planet of the Vampires and the Italian version of Witchcraft ’70.
Everyone in Parma is corrupt and a pervert, so when Margot uses her body against them, she can’t help but win. Look out for Brontis Jodorowsky — yes, the son of the great director — as a journalist. Nearly every review of this refers to it as made-for-TV-level giallo or that the only good parts are the softcore moments; Amal is well-considered for what she brought to the table, which is her body.
This is part of when giallo became erotic thrillers; it has a glossy aesthetic common to late-90s European thrillers. If we compare it to the classics of the 70s, as always, it will pale.
