VENUS IN FURS is an early work from Italian director Massimo Dallamano, later known for making riveting giallo fare such as WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLANGE? It's a straightforward erotic drama about a Peeping Tom whose obsession with a nubile young woman soon leads to heartbreak, violence and a very unusual kind of relationship. When you realise that the writer of the original novel pretty much invented sadomasochism then you realise where this is going. It's packed wall to wall with sex and nudity, much of it entirely gratuitous, with a little bit of psychology added to the mix and very little in the way of plot development. I didn't care for it, although in Dallamano's hands it's certainly a well-shot movie.
