There’s this underground
appreciation of erotic cinema among major movie critics that I just don’t get.
Perhaps you had to be watching erotica during the seventies to build this
appreciation. I don’t really watch much erotica, but every once and a while I
hear about a title that is supposed to actually be cinematically challenging.
“Secret Things” is challenging all right, but more so intellectually than
cinematically.
I will admit that the
dialogue isn’t as moronic as say an “Emmanuelle”, nor is its plot. It’s style
and pacing, however, are extremely lacking. If you’re watching this movie for
its cinematic aspects, there isn’t much to glean here. Sure it looks a little better
than your typical soft-core porn, but there’s nothing spectacular in the
cinematography. You might be able to learn how to make a passable low budget film,
if you study how they make one set look like many different locations with
different set dressings here; but even this is really done on a strictly
amateur level.
