The Smile of the Fox

Movie is basically a connection of sex scenes and nudity by Deborah Capriologio stamped between less than Junior High School quality action scene filming. Again, the only saving grace of the Leary viewer is Deborah Capriologio nude. Without that as a reason to watch it, don't waste your time. The requirements for 600 words is a little obtuse when you are writing about a very limited experience with a movie. The only good thing is Deborah Capriologio. Her acting isn't as good as her other films like Paganini or Paprika. But to be fair, the writing is terrible so we can forgive the acting quality. Can't make caviar with snails .

The "action sequences" are pretty darn bad.

This film is all about the erotic sexy time between the two leads. There is some minor stuff in here about Steve Bond being a hitman and suffering from PTSD and being on a redemption arc. But the film doesn't really find any of that too interesting so it delivers a bunch of sex instead.

It was the first time I watched this film. I can understand it left a mark on people due to the feeling of intensity the directing manages to build in the film. Steve Bond (or Shlomo Goldberg) seems convincing enough to me, amid the cheap light and image quality, as the camera work is not so rarely vivid and powerful. The sensuality switches from heat and cold, embracing both evenly deeply. The actress shines with that fragile and perverse innocence, dear to the 80s and 90s that failed to survive the rise of the macho heroin, whose sensuality is expressed into male features like combat abilities, rather than through her femininity. That femininity she expresses feels like a caress on the cheek. This kind of movies produced during that generation, despite their quality, seem to have kept their ability to portray feelings with a depth that can be as unsettling as it is charming. This Z-series movie is one of those kinds you'll remember.

Deborah Caprioglio is one sexy mumma but some of her other films like Paprika were a little tongue in cheek with any pretence of a sexy scene killed off by intrusive cheesy music.

I first saw this film about 12 years and it remained in my mind for a long time due to it's unbelievably sexy content both in the style (voyeuristic elements) and the raw sexual attraction of the lead ie Deborah.

It's a softcore production but I prefer these. More emphasis is placed on generating an erotic tone and the naturally voluptuous figure of Ms Caprioglio just smolders through the screen.

The DVD is only in Italian, which I don't speak, so I can't comment on the story but it's a well made production and definitely worth buying if you are a fan of Deborah.
