Set in Italy, a bored aristocratic couple (Frank Wolff and Erika Remberg) and their son invite a carnival motorcycle stunt-woman (the gorgeous Silvana Venturelli) back to their ostentatious château, claiming they recognise her from their favourite sex film.
As she’s drawn into their world, the wealthy trio finds more than they bargained for as she leads them on an oneiric journey mixing decadence and dream-logic, reality and role-play.
With its high production values, extravagant production design, lavish setting and (relatively) high-class cast, The Lickerish Quartet is the apogee of artful 1970s erotica.
Director Radley Metzger plays with time, with frequent cuts, flashbacks, flashforwards, and dream sequences, so by the end, fantasy and reality are blurred and nobody, including the audience, is exactly sure what actually happened and what didn’t.
