Review:
"The Sexualist", a 1975 release from Gourmet Video and Kemal Horulu, lies somewhere between a narrated adult film and a faux-documentary that largely takes a look at the underfunded work of a fictional hippie director, Dale T. Fuller, with an era-appropriate vision--that sex, masturbation, and astrology are all linked to humanity's ultimate development. With this "flawless" hypothesis, he goes about filming a variety of sex acts--much of which are softcore, with the notable exception of a few vaginal pairings between Tina Russell and Jason Russell. Also featured is some decent, softcore material involving the blonde beauty, Jennifer Welles, interspersed throughout the production...both on set and detailing her actions off set.
While this film is watchable enough from a (very simple) plot perspective, it most certainly falls short in the sexual heat department. Further, it features odd cuts--sometimes mid-sentence--that leave the storyline feeling jumpy and disjointed...a storyline that meanders a fair bit all on its own and that grows more and more outlandishly bizarre as the minutes tick by. Indeed, it seems as though the film arbitrarily bounces from more serious matter to outrageous attempts at comedy, all the while seeking to find both its identity and its sexual pulse.
As such, and all things considered, it's difficult to recommend this one to anyone other than those utterly immersed in Golden Age adult fare, regardless of its sexual content and despite how bizarre it may be. Its most redeeming qualities are Tina Russell's brief scenes with her then-husband, Jason, and Jennifer Welles' presence and acting. Otherwise, it's a bust...and a pass. Next.
