Review: 9 Lives of a Wet Pussy (1976)




Tags: Abel FerraraJimmy Boy L.vintage porngolden agePauline LaMondeDominique SantosJoy Silver


Abel Ferrara's feature debut is a hardcore work about a wealthy New Yorker (Pauline LaMonde) who writes various letters to Gipsy, her tarot reader friend (Dominique Santos), about her various and repeated sexual encounters and experiences, involving several men and women.
Ferrara has preferred to ostracize this film, having changed its name in the credits to "Jimmy Boy L." And whenever he's asked about "his first film," he's actually always referring to his second: "The Driller Killer," a film that has quite a bit in common with this one (horror, violence, etc.). "Wet Pussy..." simply includes various hardcore scenes of real sex, basically to add the morbid interest demanded by the era, including one of the most scandalous scenes in which a drunken father is sexually exploited by his two pubescent daughters.
