What a weird piece. The characters are highly sexualized, but the scenes are mostly visually clean. With the exception of one bar scene where there's partial nudity, the film isn't as shocking as one might expect. Which would be good, because then one could focus on the story.... except there doesn't seem to be one. The narrative goes on like an anecdote, about a prudish woman who finds herself dealing with a sudden sex addiction originated by a bump in the head, and goes on to explore what are the sexual perversions of the people surrounding her, while not taking part on it, just looking from afar.There's no proper conclusion, or lesson to be taken from the story, no point made, or at least I couldn't find one. It isn't funny either, just... odd and exaggerated, like a caricature emphasizing the personal sexual preferences of normal people. Rethinking while writing this, the point may be that it's fine to have your own perversions, as long as you don't get them in the way of other people's lives? I don't know, that seems like a silly point and I'm honestly confused. Having watched this feels like a big waste of time.
