An adaptation of a play that prioritises verbose pop poetry over naturalistic dialogue, and lays on its colours as thick as lipstick. Compared to other sex-and-murder movies of the same period, which also often feature blonde youths, this feels differently transgressive. A brother-sister-lover triangle; a voyeuristic father watching his own daughter have sex; blackmail into sex slavery… Have people who compare this to a Carry On film been watching different Carry Ons to me?
