Review of Wifemistress

Wifemistress (1977)
8/10
A woman's awakening and a husband's discovery.
9 July 2016
I too was thrilled to discover this gem. The voyeurism, Laura's innocent eroticism so obvious in Malizia comes through and is just right for a story of sexual awakening. The idea of a woman following her husband's sexual escapades and taking revenge by initiating her own shows that a woman's liberation from the morays of her time was possible even in the 19th Century.

The use of Albinioni's Adagio is very appropriate as it imparts a sadness and languorous aura that fits the story particularly Marcello's longing and resignation. This how you make an erotic film that tops the soft porno of the Emmanuelle series.
