Review of I Love You, I Don't (1976) by Marcelo C — 05 May 2012

I have seen the movie but I can't say that I was surprised by it. O.K., I can understand that anal intercourse hurts a lot, but was Jane Birkin screaming in pain or pleasure (or both)? Because it was sounding somehow creepy and I had to skip most of those parts. Joe Dallesandro looks quite handsome, even though he plays a homosexual truck driver. There are certain parts with nudity.

The end of this movie left me disappointed to the point that Krassky (Joe Dallesandro) failed to defend Johnny (Jane Birkin), after Padovan, his male truck-driver lover, tried to choke Johnny with a piece of bath curtain. And just because Johnny berated Krassky, he leaves with Padovan to resume their journey which started at the beginning.

So the whole movie, even if it takes slowly all the (let's say) "juicy parts", shows basically an affair of a handsome homosexual truck driver with a desperate-for-love androgynous waitress and their kinky way of lovemaking when the truck driver is "knocking on the back door" of the waitress.
