The Eroticist

About This Movie

The Eroticist, directed by Lucio Fulci, is a curious blend of comedy and social commentary wrapped in a rather scandalous premise. It follows Senator Pupis and his bizarre obsession with women's bottoms, which leads to both hilarity and awkwardness, especially when political figures are involved. The atmosphere is light-hearted yet has this undercurrent of satirical criticism of societal norms and politics. The pacing is somewhat erratic, but that gives it a unique charm, keeping you engaged as the absurdity unfolds. Fulci's knack for juxtaposing comedy with darker elements is on display here, and there's a certain audacity in how it addresses sexual desire. The performances are over-the-top—perfect for the absurdity of the narrative—making it a distinct piece in Fulci's filmography.
