How this isn’t regarded as an essential grindhouse classic is beyond me. It’s a series of kinky vignettes mainly centered around a loner who seeks solace in various prostitutes, but ultimately, these encounters either end in simple disappointment or outright humiliation.
The core highlight for me doesn’t even feature men in it, and it’s in the second act, involving two women where one of them is posing nude for a sculpture. It really is one of the most gripping parts of the movie.
It’s experimental with a streak of the avant-garde, brilliantly incorporating early 60s S&M iconography with a 1920s LA backdrop.
