The 1970 release from the Amero Brothers, "Bacchanale", touts itself as "the ultimate hardcore film"...it's right there on the cover. Indeed, in the opinion of this reviewer, absolutely nothing could be further from the truth. First off, this production wasn't even intended to be a hardcore flick. It was a softcore film that had hardcore inserts performed by Tina Russell, Jason Russell, and Harry Reams added in due to the burgeoning explicit market at the time. Second, it's a serious waste of time in just about every other respect, as well.

Bacchanale is a dark film to come from the early 70s. As masturbation material it would be a waste to view this title. As a haunting film, this is one that should be checked out. VCX has done a decent job with the release of Bacchanale.

BACCHANALE (1970) is a 76 minute trip through a strange dreamscape. VXC has re-released the film in a special widescreen edition as part of their Cal Vista Classics series, which debuted in 2008.
