“Venus In Furs” i

s, like almost every other Franco psychedelic film,
difficult to keep track of. However, its more coherent than “Succubus”
(meaning there is a linear storyline, it just may take several viewings
to decipher it). Also, like all of Franco's best work, it achieves a
certain flow. Franco, like David Lynch and Alejandro Jodorowsky,
operates on his own inner logic and creates a truly unique world. Hes
an exploitation filmmaker through and through (contrary to some of his
fans who place him on the level of Fellini), but hes one of the most
visionary and talented out there. Hes also extremely prolific, but only
about ten percent of what hes done is worth watching. “Venus In Furs”
is one of his best works.
