Excellent and erotic porno "roughie" from master filmmaker Alex De Renzy, who was one of the few 70's skinflick directors who knew how to make something resembling a real film. This is both erotic and grotesque.
When Joey Silvera gets out of jail, he heads home to bang his girlfriend and, for some crazy reason, agrees to take recently released jailbird, Rocky de Sade (played by Ken Turner), with him. Once Silvera is through banging his girl, Rocky de Sade assaults him and rapes her, thus beginning a vicious and repulsive rape spree.
Meanwhile, John Leslie, who manages a porno bookstore (played by the Kearney Street Theater), fantasizes about the pretty women who wander into his store. One fantasy, set on a boat, features Leslie and a couple of greasy cohorts engaging in wild, oily sex in the boat's engine room. The only sound accompanying this volcanic sequence is the vessel's churning engine.
De Renzy has a great eye and ear for the erotic and delivers some sizzling hot material in this film. He cuts between the hideous Turner abusing and raping various women and Leslie's wild fantasies. Eventually, Rocky de Sade wanders into Leslie's bookstore and the two plots finally converge. A reasonably infamous film, it features Turner sucking his own penis, Turner getting urinated on, and Rocky de Sade being defecated on and being smeared with the stuff. The auto-erotic scene is a jaw-dropping experience and more bizarre than the famous scene in "Fascination" in which Ron Jeremy also swallows and ministers to himself. The film's final sequence is an orgy that is everything "Eyes Wide Shut" was not and surely influenced the work of Rinse Dream ("Cafe Flesh") and Greg Dark ("New Wave Hookers", "Sex Freaks").
Well shot, skilfully directed, and featuring some of porn's most stunning women, "Femmes de Sade" earned and has retained its holy place in the pantheons of porn.

A Personal Note from Robin
- Robin Roberts was the bondage rigger for this film.
- Many of the BackDrop staff from Hayward were extras in this film. The picture at the right is of Candy, the lady I was living with at the time this film was produced (1976). I had suspended her from the ceiling by her ankles then wrapped her body in chains. She was hanging just inside the front door of the set (Alex De Renzy's home in Marin) and as each guest entered, they would give her a smack on the butt. She would then say "Thank you, may I have another" (This shot was grabbed about 65 minutes into the movie.)
- Almost all of the "bondage props" were supplied by BackDrop.
