The case where the quality of the picture played a decisive role. For me, poor image quality was critical, because most of the erotic scenes, as well as the usual scenes, were shot in rooms with rather poor lighting.
However, it’s really quite a remarkable French erotic film that focuses more on the plot than on the erotic itself. Although, eroticism is presented in sufficient quantity, especially considering that it is an important part of the plot. But the plot here is quite familiar and indirectly resembles the classic work “Dangerous Liaisons”, but only indirectly. Perhaps Dangerous Liaisons was just an inspiration. For example, in the book, the main character is not only very naive, but also lived all her life under the watchful eye of her mother, who created greenhouse or sterile conditions for her, because of which a slight breath of wind turned not into a mild cold, but into a deadly flu. Something similar happens in this movie.
The film takes place in the early XX century, in two country mansions in the UK. We have two families, one of which is a young man of 17 years, and the other a girl of the same age. Both live under the authoritarian eye of a parent, which makes them the perfect target for any manipulator, because childish naivety and the same credulity allow any authorized adult, in this case, hired private tutors, to do with children as they want. Just as a child follows a parent’s orders, these adult children do whatever their new tutors tell them. I may not have made the film very clear, but what I just described is the core of the film. As for the content of the film, it is as follows. Two young friends, about 30 years old, are sent as private tutors to the families of prominent political functionaries, in order not only to compromise the heads of families, but also, if possible, to destroy their reputation to the ground. Since we have an erotic film, the main weapon is lust. The purpose of these two friends is to use the children of these families, as well as their lustful fathers, to create a huge scandal, especially given the deliberately conservative spirit of these families. As they say, there are devils in a quiet pool. So in these families, under the cover of conservatism, the languages of passion are burning, waiting for an opportunity to break through.
Given that, unlike Dangerous Liaisons, we have comedy and eroticism, you should not expect some drama. This is a very light erotic film with a lot of funny and ridiculous situations. Especially funny looks the storyline, in which the student is a young man, because to ignite passion in a young man attractive teacher is not difficult. The funny thing is that she plays the role of a strict, classical teacher, while nonverbal actions are clearly seductive. There's even something about BDSM, but it's very, very remote. Rather, it is a typical teacher-student sexual fantasy. I would say this storyline was the funniest. As for the second storyline, where a young girl is already a student, then we can talk about black humor. I won’t reveal a way to destroy this family’s reputation, but it’s... impressive. It was her naivete that reminded me of the book Dangerous Liaisons.
Of course, you shouldn’t take the film too seriously and say “I don’t believe it!” in response to this girl’s actions. Yet we have an erotic comedy, not a drama that takes into account real human behavior. If the film is judged on the basis of real human behavior, half of the films can be rejected, saying that the film depicts people’s behavior that is not peculiar to them or peculiar only to very young children. So don’t take this film so seriously.
And, of course, it is worth saying about the actresses who participate in the erotic scenes themselves and about eroticism in general. As I said, the film focuses more on the plot than on eroticism, which is just a tool, not a goal. Both actresses who play tutors are great (even for 2021). Unfortunately, the quality of the film, as well as the location of the filming were chosen in such a way that it is not possible to fully enjoy the beauty of their body. And as I said, the emphasis in the film is not on eroticism (the film has no close-ups). In most cases, only one actress will dominate the erotic scenes, the other will appear naked only a couple of times during the entire film. Although the scenes do not shine with eroticism, in general they can be described as good. It is noteworthy that one of the actresses athletic body, which, I think, was rare for that time, because the general fascination with fitness appeared only in the XXI century (fitness is not equal to aerobics).
