So Sweet…So Perverse doesn’t really pick up until the last 30 min (the first hour genuinely feels like you’re watching paint dry). When the paint finally does dry, and the full image of the film is revealed, the once-white canvas finally gains a few drops of carefully placed blood, though they’re at the expense of a lesbian who’s been betrayed by her lover that ditched her for a man, which turns out to be the saddest and scariest part of all.
Stray thoughts: I swear to you Caroll Baker’s bathing suit is the exact same one Jane Birkin wears in La Piscine and both these films came out the same year, so I think the math is checking out.
