El mirón y la exhibicionista

An exhibitionist (Lina Romay) performs for the voyeur in the apartment block opposite.

Spanish director Jess Franco, the man responsible for some of the dullest Euro-trash I have ever had to endure, teams up with regular muse Romay to prove that they can be just as inept at making porn as they are at horror, women-in-prison flicks, and jungle adventures.

Despite being chock full of explicit antics, and having a mercifully short running time of just sixty minutes, 'El mirón y la exhibicionista' has to be one of the dullest, least erotic adult movies ever made: co-director and star Romay is carrying quite a bit of weight and indulges in some staggeringly unsexy acts while Franco once again puts into practise his trademark movie-making techniques-rapid zooms, aimless shots, and extreme close-ups that could only be of interest to a gynaecologist-all with the usual soporific effect.

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Jess Franco and Lina Romay both directed this hardcore flick, although it seems all Franco with his slow moving camera and constant zoom shots. A woman (Romay) notices a man spying on her from a hotel room across from hers so she gives him something to look at. This is basically three short films, ala three sex acts, put together with a short running time of 54-minutes. You can tell this is one of Franco's quickies that he filmed in a day or two but it features a nice score from Pablo Villa as well as being somewhat erotic. Making this erotic might be Franco's greatest directing work considering Romay certainly wasn't in top form here. She's packing quite a bit a weight, which is rather strange because I've seen other flicks from Franco in 1986 and her look is quite different. Oh well, the crazy world of Franco.
