Review of Eugenie (1970) by Anders J — 14 Apr 2008
Franco's Eugenie, an adaptation of Sade's Philosophy in the Bedroom, is a highly entertaining film, but for select tastes. It's along the lines of Vadim's Liaisons danereuses adaptation in that it updates the 18th century setting to the mod '60s, with great clothes and set pieces and Bruno Nicolai's awesome noise-sleaze-jazz soundtrack.
He also made another film in 1970 which confusingly goes under the name Eugenie de Sade, an adaption of Eugenie de Franval, which is also good but much creepier and more depressing.
