Hidden away from the world is her twin sister (Romay again), a nymphomaniac who has been locked away in an insane asylum under the watchful eye of one Dr. Orloff. Doriana’s solitude is interrupted one day when, completely unannounced, a journalist (Monica Swinn) arrives with hopes of interviewing her. It seems the mystery surrounding her is not without its allure and she figures an interview shedding some light on all of this might make for good reading. Doriana hesitates but eventually she ever so slightly warms to the idea. As our intrepid reporter begins to question her we learn of her past exploits and in turn, about the unique relationship that she shares with her twin. Doriana is an eternally youthful woman who seems to never age but feels no pleasure whatsoever and who tends to leave her sexual partners dead (though we do learn, initially through an encounter with Peggy Markoff, that she prefers women). Meanwhile, her incarcerated sister feels pleasure for both of them, so much so that it has driven her mad. Taking the melding of sex and death that he and leading lady Lina Romay had experimented with in the years prior with films like Female Vampire and Lorna The Exorcist to name just a few, this picture sees Franco putting all of Lina front and center in a dual role that plays to her strong points. Not an actress particularly adept at delivering completely convincing stretches of dialogue, the supremely sexy Romay’s strong points where in her physical abilities and her screen presence. This film gives her the ability to act, to exude sexual prowess and to convince us her carnality is unrelenting but at the same time give to her character an air of undeniable tragedy. Like in the aforementioned Female Vampire,even in the midst of a ridiculously hot sex scene (and the sex scenes in this movie are ridiculously hot, and also entirely explicit in a literally pornographic sense) there’s a definite tone of sadness that permeates the picture. The end result is not unlike a poem, cliché as it may be to say so. Here we have one woman so out of touch with her feelings that she cannot deal with society, and yet she shares a link so profound with her sister that there’s no denying their connection. At the same time, that sister reaps everything, whether she wants it or not, she can’t even control herself with the nurse enters the room, she has to touch herself and she has to make sure that the nurse sees her doing it. She knows only pleasure and she’s known so much of it that she’s completely gone from the real world and seems to exist on a completely different level than frigid Doriana. Romay, seen here in her physical prime, goes for it. She is completely uninhibited here, diving face first into whatever partner the script throws her way and using her unique body language and sense of sexual self to bring us to the edge alongside her character(s). Franco directs all of this with his own trademark sense of compulsively involved detachment. Ever the voyeur (he shot this movie himself and can’t help but put all of his
obsessions up there on the screen), he lets his camera worship Lina here just as he has in many of the other pictures that they made together. He uses the lush and obviously bourgeoisie locations well, the marble and alabaster of the mansions reflecting the coldness of Doriana’s character, the presence of a rainbow reflecting her efforts to feel. Lina, as Doriana, is usually dressed only in thin robes, showing off her body but hiding just enough – as the twin, she’s rather dirty looking, constantly writhing, her finger between her legs more often than not, lines in her stockings and her legs spread as wide as they can be when it comes time to be examined. There are obvious nods in not only Romay’s delivery but also Franco’s framing of the delivery that add subtext to what may at first seem to be a movie short on character development. The cinematography is strong, the framing rather well crafted and the sitar heavy score, courtesy of Walter Baumgartner, exotic enough to work. The end result is a collision between art and pornography, a heady and almost psychedelic picture that is as much as nightmare as it is a wet dream, and which is as sad and tragic as it is unusually arousing.
