Marquis De Sade, The (Tip Top) Review

Reviewed by andyblake  on  4/21/2001

In this European production, Rocco Siffredi is allowed to be as nasty as he wants to be, and he wants to be pretty nasty. Although this is a costume drama that appears to have been made about six or seven years ago, and was directed by Joe D’Amato and Luca Damiano, the sex is about as raunchy as the stuff Rocco directs himself in now. In fact, there is a pissing scene in which Rocco relieves himself on one of his paramours. I’ve never seen anything like that in American porn before. The scene was deleted from the VHS version of the movie.

Another difference between this disk and the tape version is that in the tape there was English dubbing, whereas in the DVD, the movie is left in Italian but with English sub-titles. The sub- titles are a lot dirtier than the dubbing was. Unfortunately, the color is not as good on the DVD as it was on the tape. Costumes that were a beautiful royal blue on the tape are a dingy green on the disk.

There are eight scenes, all of them featuring Rocco, and two of them featuring Rosa Caracciola, a very beautiful girl who I think was Rocco’s wife at one time. I highly recommend this one. It’s a keeper.
