The Labyrinth of Love

It's one of the numerous d'Amato films of the 1990s. This film is very boring and I don't understand how d'Amato could earn money for it. Nothing interesting happens on the screen. Erotic scenes are not strong and they're concentrated at the end of the film.

First 40 min are only conversations between several people. Then they begin to have sex. Some scenes were shot very slowly and they can only annoy the viewer. Sometimes d'Amato uses one scene two times: in slow and normal mode.

Resume: Il labirinto dei sensi is the total waste of time. Don't watch it. 1 out of 10

How can you.destroy the power of.a good setting and decent cinematography? D'Amato has the answer. Presumably the weakest in his series of films shot in the Philippines and obviously inspired by L'amant and Indochine, this is one of the worst in the entire Joe D'Amato filmography, even counting his low-budget trash films.

The storyline is too simplistic and predictable, the characters too shallow and they do little to drive the plot. Editing is amateurish, alluding that the original reel had been butchered in a haphazard manner. The film is not in any way representative of Joe D'Amato's erotic cinema, let alone its 'Oriental' sub-set.
