Needless to say it's all about as sexy as warm beer but who's really watching this stuff in 2019 to get turned on?

Funny you should say that, one of the guys for film night chose
Girl On A Motorcycle as almost a companion piece to Performance. Fuck me it was awful. The exact same thing as venus in furs. Supposedly it's sexy with the great sites of Germany, Switzerland and the like and the ridiculous sex scenes to boot. That's interspersed with Marianne Faithfull just looking daft on the motorcycle that's clearly on a rig.
Awful film that should be forgotten. People forget that the swinging sixties didn't half have some dreck come out of it.
