Femmes de Sade

For fans of the perverse this is a movie that will tickle your funny bone. What we have here in Femmes De Sade is one of the best and sleaziest porno flicks the world has ever seen. And most of the praise should be given to the lead character in the film Rocky De Sade. He's a 7 foot tall walking bag of sleaze with a behemoth of a dong in his undies. He's rude, crude, mean, ugly, badass, funny, and even lovable in a ogreish type of way. His look and demeanor in this film is what it's all about. If you want to experience a sleazy character look no further. But beware, Rocky may find you attractive and I'm not so sure you'd want that.

Obviously the entire movie isn't focused around Mr. Sleaze, there are other characters and other lil side plots. We also follow a nympho maniac as he rudely daydreams about sexy situations with the people he's talking with. Mr. Nympho and Rocky eventually meet towards the end of the film, and it's one hell of an ending.

If you're like me and find films like Water Power and Thundercrack! to be great entertainment then Femmes De Sade is for you. It's one of the best skin flicks from the 70s you can find. With Rocky leading the pack and a plethora of babes and dongs, this is class A entertainment.

Alex De Renzy was one of only a handful of porn directors that were gifted enough to have their own visual style, something that sadly, dissapeared in his later work once hardcore features began to be shot on video. Femmes de Sade, in it's uncut form (Tough to find) is one of my favorite 70's XXX films. It's just so messed up and vile! A huge deranged pervert gets out of jail and bums a ride with a fellow inmate who has also been released, and has been picked up by his girlfriend. Needless to say, it does not end up nicely for her. I don't want to give up too much about the film in case you actually ever get to see it, but the scene where the gigantic sex-freak sucks his own wang, and then tries to force an unwilling female to give herself oral sex is one of the most unnerving scenes in adult film history. Alex De Renzy, you will be missed.

What's the first thing on any man's mind when he's freshly released from prison? Sex, of course! But what about the second, and third, and fourth? Most people would say a decent meal or a proper job, but in the case of ultimately perverted freak Rocky De Sade it's exclusively sex; the sicker the better. Alex de Renzy's "Femmes de Sade" is somewhat of a masterpiece in its own secluded and often neglected category. It's a rough and brutal 70's porn/horror movie with an adequate storyline, decent character drawings and sadistic hardcore material. Rocky (his last name is of course a fabulous homage to the legendary infamous marquis) walks out of the prison gates, promptly invites himself to the house of a fellow inmate and barbarically rapes his girlfriend. He then immediately dives into the big city's nightlife, looking for more prostitutes to satisfy his sexual hunger and oppressed appetite for violence. The impressively postured and sick-spirited ex-con physically and mentally abuses a whole series of girls, until they combine forces and plot a vile & humiliating payback during a private orgy party. The film's powerful impact principally relies on Ken Turner's deranged performance as Rocky. This guy almost naturally radiates pure maliciousness & emotional nihilism, and he's literally as big as a house! And very flexible, too, as demonstrated during the jaw-dropping scene in which he orally "pleasures" himself and uncannily forces a girl to do the same. There's a parallel storyline, admittedly just to stretch the running time a little, about an adult video store clerk fantasizing about the all the women that pass by his store. The finale is short but sweet, and you should truly prepare yourself to witness a LOT of filth, including bestiality, urinal sex and even scat. Demented 70's smut, highly recommend to all you sick puppies out there.

Femmes de Sade (1976)

*** 1/2 (out of 4)

Alex de Renzy's notorious and sleazy porno has Rocky DeSade (Ken Turner) raping his friend's woman before he heads off and starts stalking various hookers. He sexually and physically abuses them but they plan for some revenge when he shows up to a S&M party.

FEMMES DE SADE is a film that has a pretty wild reputation and there's no question that it lives up to it. I had heard all sorts of things about this film but you can never be quite prepared until you actually sit down and watch it. The most amazing thing is that de Renzy manages to put the viewer through all sorts of different feelings while watching this film, which really wasn't an easy thing to do.

Case in point, the opening scene has a man being released from prison and finally being able to get it on with his girlfriend. This sequence just comes across very real and at the same time it was weirdly erotic. You follow this up with a violent rape sequence and you really start to realize that this film isn't going to be shy about anything. We get all sorts of notorious scenes including Turner performing oral sex on himself so he can show a hooker how to do it.

Then, of course, there's what happens at the S&M party, which is just wild to say the least. What starts out as an orgy quickly takes a very dark and disgusting turn. I wouldn't say that Turner gave a great performance but it was certainly a raw one and there's no question that he fit the role perfectly. You really can see him as this dirty monster and it certainly sells the plot.

FEMMES DE SADE is certainly one of the most memorable adult films out there even though it certainly won't be for everyone.

A particularly nasty '70s roughie,the unedited version of this de Renzy's sickie is nearly impossible to find.The plot involves the monstrous Rocky DeSade running around San Francisco and brutalizing the local working girls;they eventually take revenge on this creep by staging a fetish party and making him pay via pissing,hard-core S/M and even a little scat added for the good measure.This grainy and sadistic porno truly has to be seen to be believed,especially the sequence when Rocky sucks his own penis.The scat scene is very disgusting,albeit clearly fake.The porno scenes are well-filmed and the film is loaded with incredibly seedy atmosphere."Femmes de Sade" is very hard to find as is "Animal Lover" with famous Danish bestiality performer Bodil Joensen,but if you get a chance watch them both.8 out of 10.
