Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

If you are a Fulci fan, then you do need to see this, for if nothing else to get a sense of the different types of movies he's done. Its definitely not as good as Fulci's best movies he's known for. However, if you're not a Fulci fan, this probably isn't your cup of tea. Unless you like sex comedies from the 1970s, then you also need to see this film.As far as the sex goes its actually rather tame. The controversy when this was released really comes from the depiction of the Catholic Church. Its actually a pretty good commentary on religious suppression of normal human sexual feelings.Beware, the dubbing is typically awful.

Whenever you talk of Lucio Fulci, you immediately think of the his role as the Godfather of Gore. Films like Zombie and The House by the Cemetery are more well known by this director, but he made many films before that were comedies and westerns. This is one of his satirical comedies that is both surreal and a major did at the Catholic Church and Italian politics.I would not presume to get all of the jokes in this film, as most are not known outside of Italy, but it was funny enough when they lampooned the Catholic Church and their involvement in Italian politics. There are also laughs aplenty at the military and the police as they attempt to stage a coup. I would not like to give away military secrets, but the clandestine operations in this film remind me so much of what our country does to it's "friends," and vice versa.There is even a nunspoitation aspect to this film as the Presidential candidate goes to a convent to get treatment for his particular paraphilia, and manages to deflower 21 nuns in a single night. His dreams had nuns in lace habits that exposed their breasts and buttocks so that he could grab them. A nun who got left out managed to find him and they enjoyed a night of passion.This was hilarious and sexy and surreal and irreverent. Fulci at his best.

The Eroticist After reading the two line summary that describes this movie, I knew I HAD to see it.What I got was a few genuine chuckles, some great female nudity and some pretty funny acting.The movie is about a senator named Puppsi, pronounced Poop-C. Who succumbs to a "disease" where he can not control his sexual appetite. He's held off so long that he is actually grabbing bum bums and not even knowing it. The actor who plays Puppsi does a good job with the facial expressions and delivery. Great job casting this movie.Obviously the movie is about him dealing with this "problem." There's a subplot involving the church and blackmailing that I really didn't care much for. You might, I didn't. The scenes weren't very funny and I found myself to be a little bored by them. But when Puppsi is on screen, it's pretty much always fun. Either by laughs or by some good nudity. By the way, the lead woman in this movie is gorgeous with a capital G.The movie is pretty funny...if you enjoy sex comedies like Flesh Gordon 1 or 2, movies of that nature you'll most likely have a fun time with this.Bringing this idea into film was awesome. I cant count how many times that I've wanted to squeeze a bum. Good comedic stuff from a legendary horror director.

Lucio Fulci is best known for his "over the top" super gory horror Flicks: Zombie, City Of The Living Dead, The Beyond etc. This on the other hand is a full-blown comedy about a senator with a compulsive Fetish for female "buttock's". Someone will have to cure him before he creates a national scandal, so where else to go than a monastery! The film is totally insane and as funny as it can be. It's great to see films that doesn't say, "Far enough, we might offend someone". Because this movie is peppered with "let's go a bit further, and even further than that, isn't it cool to offend someone?". The film is visually beautiful as well, and Fulci's famous style is very visible. The use of hand held camera, P.O.W shots and extreme close up's is used to great effect to enhance the comedic effect. Very similar to his horror style. If you're a fan of Fulci, This is a must see because it's probably one of his best films.
