In this infamous erotic shocker, jazz trumpeter Jimmy Logan (James
Darren) is caught in a mental labyrinth of events past and present.
In
Istanbul he discovers the mutilated body of Wanda Reed (Maria Rohm), a
beautiful woman that he saw being dragged into a deadly and sadistic
sex game by a trio of decadent jet-setters (including the master of
portraying psychopathic sadists, Klaus Kinski).
Some time later, Jimmy
is playing in Rio and is shocked to discover that Wanda has returned
from the dead to exact revenge on the three that killed her.
Directed
by "blood and breasts maestro" Jess Franco (Vampyros Lesbos), Venus In
Furs is a stylishly psychadelic, supernatural tale filled with
hallucinatory images, hip 'beatnik' dialogue, softcore sex scenes, a
bit of kink and fetish fluff and a swinging jazz/pop fusion score
provided by Manfred Mann. As the hep cats say - if this is your bag,
you'll dig it!
