Description: AKA: Justine och Juliett (original Swedish title), Marquis de Sade in Love
It is a modern re-telling of the classic sex tale from the Marquis de Sade. Beautiful actresses Maria Forsa and Anne Bie Warburg play two sisters caught in a web of sex and sensual pleasures.
Justine and Juliette are two orphan sisters, and they are as different as it's possible to be. They have nothing in common except their beauty. They are evicted by their cruel aunt. They hitchhike to Stockholm, where they each start to lead their own life. The worldly Juliette moves into a luxurious hotel room and 'sells' her body in a nightclub, but the timid Justine goes to stay in a shabby guesthouse and lives in misery and poverty. Juliette invites her sister to an evening organized by a billionaire, Don Miller, who is sick with heart and launches a challenge: he will give his fortune to his murderer if he/she succeeds in killing him with pleasure.
Review:
Now here's something you don't see very often--a hardcore Swedish adaptation of the Marquis de Sade directed by a man who later became a highly respected Hollywood cinematographer lensing productions like TV's "The Wonder Years". Unfortunately, it's not very good (although god knows, it's better than "The Wonder Years"). It takes the Marquis DeSade's story of two sisters, a virtuous one who suffers and a sinful one who prospers in world that above all things, is cruel, and turns it into a stupid modern (as of 1975 anyway)sex comedy.

The two leads, Joe Sarno-regular Maria Forse who plays Justine and the unknown, who plays Juliette get naked a lot but don't really participate in the hardcore sex scenes. That is left to the anonymous extras and American porn star Harry Reems (hilariously dubbed into Swedish) who once again shows off his monstrous manhood and even more monstrous mustache as he plays an American millionaire (even though as I said he is dubbed into Swedish)who has promised his fortune to whatever woman can give him a heart attack during sex.

Like the vast majority of Eurotica that crosses into hardcore, this film has WAY too many long sex scenes and will bore the holy hell out of anyone NOT watching it for ceiling-painting purposes. Maria Forse is very cute, but not a particularly talented actress and the other performer's talents descend precipitously from there. Worst of all, it is very obviously NOT in the spirit of the Marquis de Sade (torturing only the viewers). I'd recommend instead other flawed adaptations of the same tale like Jess Franco's "Marquis de Sade's Justine" or "Cruel Passions" with the ever-delectable Koo Stark. This is one to avoid
