Review of Private House of the SS (1977) by Jens R — 02 Jul 2008
Wonderful Italian exploitation.
Offensive, at times hilarious, very sleazy and above all very entertaining.
A highly well-regarded Nazi general is given the mission by the Fuhrer himself, to find traitors and make them confess their acts of treason. His methods in dealing with this mission are unorthodox, to say the least.
He uses the 10 most beautiful whores he can find, and trains them into love machines, ready to satisfy any sexual desire, no matter how bizarre or unpleasant. The idea behind all this, is to invite the suspects to a whorehouse, and that through sexual satisfaction, they will loosen up and let their mouths run.
The film is an odyssey of bizarre fetishes, as well as an interesting philosophical discussion of the ideals of Nazism, the two main themes being the joy of power, and morality, or rather the lack thereof.
Of course, all the cinematic qualities you can expect from a 70s Italian exploitation film are here. Lush cinematography, operatic atmosphere and gorgeous soundtrack.
Don't let this luxurious packaging fool you though, the film is (and deliberately so) in very bad taste and like one reviewer pointed out: "you do feel like having a shower afterwards".
