Title: The Lickerish Quartet Year: 1970 Starring: Silvana Venturelli, Frank Wolff, Erika Remberg, Paolo Turco Director: Radley Metzger Synopsis: A jaded, wealthy couple watch a blue movie in their castle home along with her adult son. The son is testy, so they go into town and watch a circus-like thrill ride. The daredevil woman in the show looks exactly like one of the women in the movie, so the man invites her to join them for a nightcap. Tensions among the family seem to rise. She stays overnight, and during her 24 hours in the castle, each of its three residents involves her in a fantasy. She, in turn, keeps asking, “Who has the gun?” Will there be violence before it’s over? - via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: And we're back to the art of Radley Metzger Buy: Amazon | PinkLable.tv "But that's just a girl in a film, and what happens in the film doesn't really happen to her. Or to me." It has been literal years but we’re once again scrutinizing one o...

Title: Broken Butterfly: A Perfect Shade of Blu Year: 2024 Starring: Jewelz Blu, Charlotte Sins, Codey Steele Director: Jeffrey John Hart Synopsis:  Juliet is a young woman with a new job, a new boyfriend, and a new, dull unfulfilling life. But when her reality begins to fracture around her, she comes face to face with the past she thought she left behind. - Via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: Nominated for 8 awards and winner of Best Featurette at 2025 AVNs. Buy: HollyRandall.com   |   Adult Empire  | HotMovies   "It's time to open the cage." Creating a compelling psychological thriller in an adult film space seems to be very, very difficult. Not that I’ve watched many, but the ones that I had, I can only point to one, maybe two, that really hit the bulls-eye. But damned if Broken Butterfly doesn’t try its hardest to be a commendable foray into the ranks of psycho-sexual skin-flicks. It doesn’t succeed, but it tries its dirty heart out. Juliet (played by Je...

Title: Reflective Desire Year: N/A Starring: Cam Damage, Vespa, Shweetie, Chuck Director: Several Synopsis:  The best bondage and latex porn is produced by Reflective Desire. A well lit place for shapely creatures covered in shiny latex. Lilith's Notes: I didn't think I was into this, but actually... Buy: Reflective Desire The algorithm is a sneaky little gremlin.  Look, just because I have Lights Out on my to-be-read shelf and on the wait list on the Libby app, a nineteen-week wait oh my fucking god, doesn’t mean that I want you sending gas-masked men on the For You Page of my non-porn Tiktok, Algorithm! No, Algorithm, I don’t care that I spent a week watching gas-masked people play around in latex, stop spying on me! Anyway, this week we tried something different, and perused Reflective Desire, a website and series that caters to an extremely specific kink: Latex and all that entails. Gasmasks, sensory deprivation, breath-play, shibari, sensation play, all those t...

Title: Eyes Wide Shut Year: 1999 Starring: Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise Director: Stanley Kubrick Synopsis:  After Dr. Bill Harford’s wife, Alice, admits to having sexual fantasies about a man she met, Bill becomes obsessed with having a sexual encounter. He discovers an underground sexual group and attends one of their meetings – and quickly discovers that he is in over his head. - via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: I've tried to watch this movie four times. I was successful only twice. Buy: Amazon   "Fidelio" Many things came together to make this review a reality. A few months back I got into a discussion on Bluesky about whether or not Eyes Wide Shut is a good movie. It’s going to be on Criterion Channel, so of course it’s good, right? It’s not like I haven’t previously established that we here at Lilith Likes to Watch don’t think the Big CC is necessarily a mark of entertainment, just art and beauty. Art is subjective, and just because you or I do not like so...

Title:  Emmanuelle Year:  1974 Starring:  Sylvia Kristel, Daniel Sarky, Alain Cuny  Director:  Just Jaeckin Synopsis:  An employee at the French Embassy in Bangkok invites his wife to join him – and enjoy the benefits of their open marriage. - via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes:  Once more we dive into classics. Buy:  Amazon     "l knew then that a cascade is only beautiful if you can say so to the one you love." I realize it’s kind of arrogant to claim a deep dive into a franchise that has seven parts, not to mention countless unauthorized spin-offs, a video game, a reboot and two novels, while engaging in just the first film, the most recent remake, and listened to a possibly abridged version of one of the two novels. But, realistically, there’s only so many hours in a week and Kage and I aren’t getting any younger. So, while we admittedly dove into the shallower end of the experience, we did ultimately decide that since Emmanuelle is s...

Title: Her Body aka Její tělo Year:  2023 Starring: Natalia Germani Director: Natálie Císařovská Synopsis: A successful athlete, member of the Olympic team, after a vertebra injury and the forced end of her sports career, becomes a successful and well-known porn actress. Based on the real-life story of Olympic diving champion Andrea Absolonová. - via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: This lady gets so wet. Buy: Amazon “Make a splash. Get the most out of life.” Did you know that once upon a time, there was an olympic level diver who broke her back, so she got into porn? Well, you do now! Her Body: A True Porn Story is the true telling of Andrea Absolonová, a member of the Czech high diving team, and adult film actress who went by the stage name Lea De Mae. That’s the most interesting thing about this movie, the true story behind it. This is one of those occasions where I feel this movie needs to be shared with others, simply on the fact that it’s such a unique premise, an aut...

Title: Climax Year: 2018 Starring:  Sofia Boutella Romain Guillermic Souheila Yacoub Director: Gaspar Noe Synopsis:  When a dance troupe is lured to an empty school, a bowl of drug-laced sangria causes their jubilant rehearsal to descend into a dark and explosive nightmare as they try to survive the night—and find who’s responsible—before it’s too late. - Via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: Our first Gaspar Noe, but it won't be our last. Buy: Amazon "I am so happy. I couldn't be happier." Look around. Look at the state of everything. Yeah. If you wanted to let go and get a little fucked up right now, I don’t think anyone would blame you. Just use responsibly. Now seems as good a time as any to start 2025s viewing experiences with a chaotic clusterfuck of a bang. And what better hedonistic, unhinged explosion is there than Gaspar Noe’s Climax. The film begins with a French dance troupe being interviewed. The footage is on an old TV surrounded by classic psycho-...

Title: The P*rn Conversation Year: 2023 Starring:  Cybele Lesperance, KAy Garnellen, Lullabyebye, Misungui, Mya Lorenn, Petra Von Schatz Director: Anoushka Synopsis:  The porn conversation shares the behind the scenes of an orgy shoot. How do performers and directors discuss and agree upon what to show on camera? How are the performers’ limits detailed before the scene? How is consent part of every step in the process? Ensuring the consent of partners is sexy. This film shows us how it’s done in porn. - Via Pink Label Lilith's Notes: Enthusiastic consent is hot. Buy: Pink Label "We Want to Hear You Sing" Open communication is fun, sexy and healthy and I will hear no argument! So, the Porn Conversation is a quick fifteen minute lesbian orgy, with the briefest of discussions about who does and does not consent to what acts. And they they all fuck. I was expecting more, y’know, conversation. I was expecting some sort of round-table moment with all the performers discus...
