Mystique / (Roberta Findlay, Sendy Film Corporation) (Georgina Spelvin, Samantha Fox, Merle Michaels, Erica Richardson, Helen Madigan, Patty Weston (as Patricia West), Yolanda Bonnea, Jake Teague, Randy West, Ron Jeremy, Dave Ruby (as David Ruby), Dick Howard (as Ken Dahl / Ken Draper), Bobby Kasby (as Bobby Kassner), Vaughn Mitchell)
I consider MYSTIQUE to be a sort of lost minor masterpiece of the
porn chic era. For starters, the film is an 'unofficial'
lesbian reworking of Thomas Mann's
classic novella DEATH IN VENICE which was written by Roger Watkins of THE LAST HOUSE ON DEAD END STREET fame. Apparently, to Watkins' lifelong chagrin, director Roberta Findlay (who curiously directed the film under the
male pseudonym 'Robert W. Norman') did not credit
him as the writer and
he felt that the
female director was trying to steal
his work. Like Visconti's DEATH IN VENICE adaptation, MYSTIQUE features music by Gustav Mahler, as well as
his spiritual nemesis Richard Wagner. In fact, the lead character is named 'Alma' (named after Mahler's
wife), while the quasi-villain is named 'Cosima' (after Wagner's
wife, who famously had problems with Mahler due to
his Jewish background).MYSTIQUE is surely not a work that one
watches as a
masturbation aid (though I'm sure there are some people out there that will find something arousing about it), as the
sex is largely unerotic and
rough (including a two-
guy-on-one-
girl gang rape scene in a bathtub). Also, the film features more plot/storyline than your average
fuck flick. MYSTIQUE is rather 'artful' and 'cultivated' and has a fairly dream-like essence that is accentuated to its beachside setting and classical
Romantic score, not to mention incessant dream-sequences (both pornographic and non-pornographic). In fact, the film oftentimes blurs the line between dream and reality and concludes on a rather 'angelic' note.MYSTIQUE centers around an aging terminally ill fashion photographer who moves to
her beach home and falls in
love with a mysterious
beautiful young woman that randomly shows up on
her beach who ultimately
takes over
her life, both literally and figuratively. The film also stars
porn chic divas Georgina Spelvin (DEVIL IN MISS JONES) and Samantha Fox (Watkins'
HER NAME WAS LISA and CORRUPTION) as the two leads, as well as Jack Teague (
DEEP INSIDE ANNIE SPRINKLE) in a stupid-looking old
man's wig and Ron Jeremy during
his more slim days and
porn veteran Randy West as a philstine rapist.
