Dom Robinson reviews

The Voyeur

Distributed by
Nouveaux Pictures

The Voyeur is a film from Italian erotica director Tinto Brass which has a simple storyline if it has one at all: Dodo loves his sensuous, blonde wife Sylvia very much and the feeling is reciprocated. However, she keeps disappearing for no good reason whatsoever (even the back cover doesn't give any clues).

Dodo is The Voyeur and as well as playing hide the salami with his missus, he turns on the charm with his black, female student Pascasie and watches her do her bit for international relations with her white girlfriend. Meanwhile, he also has eyes when his father Alberto makes advances towards his housemaid Fausta.

The film plays out in a series of segments but don't expect the greatest of plot consistencies here. However, what you can expect is hinted at in the three screengrabs accompanying this review.

The picture quality is acceptable but not outstanding. Most of it is shot in soft-focus but there doesn't seem to be any particular artifact problems so it's as good as it's going to get. The back cover states the ratio as 4:3 fullscreen, but it's more like a slight-widescreen ratio of approximately 1.44:1 (13:9) and can comfortably be zoomed in to fill a widescreen TV. The average bitrate is an above average 6.46Mb/s, occasionally peaking above 9Mb/s.

The sound is mostly cheesy music - exactly what you expect when the characters start getting down to the business - and the language, originally Italian, is dubbed into English with a Dynasty-style dialogue. There's no Dolby Digital logo on the cover so I presume it's uncompressed Linear PCM Stereo.

The Spring 2000 Collection for Nuns.

Extras :

Chapters :

There are only 12 chapters during the 91-minute film. Usually I'd like to see more, but each covers an individual "encounter".

Languages & Subtitles :

Dubbed English as previously stated, but no subtitles.

Picture Gallery :

Not the greatest of extras, but a 16-strong selection of soft-focus clip-shots (*I* said CLIP !)

Menu :

Static and silent, but a couple of pics of the seductive Sylvia provide the backdrop to the options to start the film, select a scene or view the picture gallery.

The sun and the moon.

Overall :

If you buy this disc, don't be expecting a state-of-the-art impression of what DVD has to offer. It's a bit of a laugh and if you have a penchant for Channel 5's late-night erotic offerings then this may well be for you.

Just one point of bad news: the BBFC saw fit to exorcise 8 seconds from the submitted print. BBFC
