Attica! Attica! No...wait

Err, so this one is a bit dodgy to say the least. Not graphically so or I wouldn't have watched it, but it still, err, is a story about someone shagging a dog. Hmm.

You see, there's this girl Janine who witnesses her mother getting it on with a dog. Her dad arrives and understandably goes mental and burns down the house with the dog still in it. Years later, a bunch of couples head for the island this took place and thankfully for most of the film we get an Intterrabang type film by which I mean a psychological giallo where there's no murderer. You know things are heading for some weird conclusion though - let's look at this band of jerks.

The main focus is on Paul and Yvette who are on the island for business purposes, but also to spice up their love life with a bit of a threesome. Paul is immediately taken in by the young girl standing on the cliffs with a dog, to the point where the boat he's on strikes some rocks and he and Yvette have to spend the night in the cave of weird fisherman Enrico Maria Salerno. Also on the island is a sleazy old man (Balbo), a Swedish girl who often disrobes, and Paul Muller as a God-fearing madman to round out the ranks of people you won't care about.

Basically, there's a whole mystery surrounding the girl, her dog, and the burned out house. At least to Paul and Yvette there's a mystery, because we already know who she is and what she's going to do because this is an Italian film. The couple take in Yvette and a three way naked filthy squeezy happens while the dog howls outside. I bored talking about this one now.

I'm not sure of the point of this one. I guess you get some nudity, but not that great a deal. Is it art or is it sleaze? What does it all mean? Did the mean for the bit with the dog at the end to be so goofy and funny looking? Was it in fact a religious allegory? What made Enrico Salerno sign up for this crap?
