"Flesh of the Orchid" has the flavor of a fairy tale--one of the gruesome unedited Grimm's fairy tales--with a healthy dose of Charlotte Rampling nudity mixed in, so obviously it appeals to us on multiple levels. Charlotte plays a disturbed young woman imprisoned by her aunt who wants to take advantage of her wealth; the game-keeper, Charlotte's guardian tries to rape her, so she escapes into the countryside and meets a man on the run from two killers. Sounds vaguely "Snow White"-ish, doesn't it?
If only Charlotte Rampling and a bunch of sexploitation filmmakers had gotten to the Grimm Brothers' stuff before Disney did, the world would've been so different! What would Disney have used for inspiration? Maybe they would've many "Emmanuelle" animated and sexless. That could be fun in its own way!
