Sex Horoscope: Love Tasting

About This Movie

Sex Horoscope: Love Tasting is a curious blend of comedy and drama that captures the peculiar atmosphere of late '70s adult filmmaking. It’s about three guys—a scenario writer, a producer, and a director—who head to a hot spring with high hopes of completing their script, all while guided by their horoscopes. The pacing is laid-back, almost meandering, allowing for some genuine, if not awkward, interactions with various young women they interview. What stands out is how it mixes the search for talent with the absurdity of their situation. The performances are quite raw, fitting the film's overall vibe. Practical effects are minimal, but they rely on the charm of the characters and their interactions, making it a unique artifact of its time.
