French Lust (USA 1989, German Dub, Stephanie Rage, Victoria Paris) 82min720p60fps

Only scene resembling the original film by Bertolucci is the opener, where Jamie Gillis and Porsche Lynn meet by chance in a Parisian apartment for rent. They immediately have the "strangers encounter" sex scene, notable for a finger-in-anus element preceded by Vaseline rather than that famous buttered finger. After sex, Porsche rushes off, leading her hat behind. Movie jumps forward several years to a party where they meet again, somewhat cold to each other now. At this point the movie becomes distracted with subplots involving the infidelity of the supporting cast and rather arbitrary pairings and threesomes, leaving that central Jamie/Porsche romance in the background. Unlike the other two films in this trio, there's no comedy, just a bit of overwrought dramatics. by sound67
