 Rated 1 out of 5
Don’’t waste your money
No redeeming qualities, except maybe the cute blond in a short skirt. That is all. Dumb settings, not artful or exciting. Who cares about a weird bored family living in a castle, with a grown up son who likes to do magic tricks? Life is too short for this. Rated 4 out of 5
Breathtaking
I once wrote a review on "Wildflowers" (2000) suggesting that it should have won an Oscar for cinematography. Same thing applies here. Anybody who has been captured by (or curious about) the mystical splendor of Europe’’s old castles doesn’’t want to miss this 1970 movie. Whether it’’s erotic enough (or too erotic for an art film) is another story. Cinematography alone defines pretty well the difference between "Lickerish Quartet" and thousands of sleazy flicks out there. (P.S. I first gave it 3 stars then realized Sylvana Venturelli’’s stunning beauty deserved another one). Rated 5 out of 5!
The Lost Art of the "Art Film"
"The Lickerish Quartet" is a shining example of alternative 1970’’s film making. In a time when adult films had to be classified as "art-films" to avoid censorship, writers and directors were forced to put a lot of effort into plot, dialog, and storyline. The end result sometimes worked better than others and here we see just how imaginitive a.... film can be. Beautiful cinematography, grandiose setting, and a certain "twighlight-zone" twist, make this film anything but boring. What makes it shine is the way it reflects the ... vision of 1970. The sex is free and easy, though carefully handled and practically "R" rated. If you like seduction, passion, and lovers running through the grass, this is the film for you. There’’s plenty of porn around, but this is something else. The motorcycle stunt scene is worth the price of the film alone. Director Radley Metzger has secured a place in film history.
