Obscene Desire

"Obscene Desire" belongs to the European erotic thriller tradition, the kind of low-budget continental production built around suspense and seduction rather than plot mechanics. Marisa Mell headlines, and the archive holds 4 scenes pulled from the film showing her nude and in sex scenes across the runtime. Mell's cult status in European genre cinema of the era rests on exactly this kind of screen work, unclothed and unguarded in front of the camera.
