"A film that is the cinematic antipode of The Battle of Algiers. Photographed by the great Jack Cardiff, designed by Alfred Junge (both of whom received Oscars for their work here), this film was considered by Michael Powell to be the “most erotic” of all his films. That it takes place within a community of nuns gives his claim a deliciously profane edginess. It is the film that made me first realize how much cinematography can and should contribute to the emotional, dramatic thrust of a movie. It was also a great influence on my own film, the never released Mariette in Ecstasy, a bittersweet experience that made me realize how much more freedom I would always have as a cinematographer than as just another struggling director trapped in the Hollywood system."

Book Rating
*I won a copy of this book through a giveaway on a blog*

3.5 stars.

I'm not a big fan of menage books, there's generally too much going on for me and in this there were a lot of erotic scenes involving more than just out two main characters and it didn't do anything for me.

I don't mind a bit of kink but some bits of this book were a little too much for my tastes.

That being said, if those scenes were removed and it was just Sam and Mitch I would have given it a higher rating as what they shared from early on was something special.I loved the beginning and the end but the in between went a little awry for me.

Nevertheless I liked it.
