Our take

Like any good animator, Borowczyk is a collector par excellence. It’s a quality that often playfully reveals itself in his films, and literally so in this gleeful, perverse hodgepodge of the erotic that in fact comments on the nature of sex. Commentary by surrealist André Pieyre de Mandiargues!
