4 visually fascinating tales, one with a cucumber especially memorable (19 November 2008)
The tale of the girl locked in a room with some suggestive old prints and a cucumber is the one that stayed in my my mind for 30 years before the time came for me to get it on DVD. The sound of that cucumber was the thing that resonated most: the suck and the squelch of it was delicious. Borowczyk has always been good with sound as well as his uniquely, often flat two dimensional, painterly visuals. But there was also the intense otherness of the girl's concentrated privacy as she worked it, unseen by us as we only get the view of her back torso. It's a visual poem. The cucumber story is in the naturalistic three dimensional style and concentrates on the textures of, usually solid, inanimate objects in the consistent closely observed Boro style found in all his films.
This film as a whole is not Borowczyk at his best but at least it's his second best.

completely over-rated (02 May 2006)
Awful awful film. This is only for real cinema buffs with a lot of time on their hands. I have made attempts to grow an appreciation of this type of film but would rather watch the snooker and/or paint dry than have to watch this film again.

Premium erotica (07 April 2004)
Immoral Tales is one of Borowzcyk's masterpieces, though it does not reach the heights of La Bete or L'ile d'amour. Borowczuk's style is distinctive: subliminal, insinuative imagery, slow build-ups leading up to explosive finales in which sexuality and (often) violence run wild, excellent scores and respectable acting, an amazing use of colour. All this amounts to much more than softcore pornography. Borowzcyk's achievement far surpasses the level of Emmanuelle and by far outstrips the likes of Franco and Brass.
