Orgia

About This Movie

So, 'Orgia' is this curious piece from 1967 that delves into some pretty provocative themes, you know? It’s a fragment of a larger work, supposedly revolving around St. Teresa of Avila, but it kind of spirals into this chaotic sexual orgy that feels like a critique of modern society's excesses. Maas plays the devil, and there’s a wild drag queen who brings an unexpected flair to the bathroom scenes. The pacing is uneven, which adds to its avant-garde feel—like it’s deliberately disjointed. The performances are raw, almost feverish. It’s distinctive in how it juxtaposes spirituality with hedonism, and you can’t help but feel a certain tension throughout.

Finding 'Orgia' in its original format can be quite the hunt. Given its limited releases and the film's obscure nature, collectors are often drawn to its rarity. The fragmented story makes it a unique piece of cinematic history, though its lack of conventional distribution leaves many searching for elusive copies. Interest tends to peak among those who appreciate underground and experimental cinema, especially those with a focus on the avant-garde of the late 60s.
