Based on Gustave Flaubert’s scandalous 1856 novel Madame Bovary, a story centered on adultery and the protagonist’s life of misfortune, Woman in Love: A Story of Madame Bovary centers on Christine (a beautiful and melancholic Laurien Dominique), a bored housewife neglected by her husband (a concept all too common in contact films) who finds a job as a saleswoman in a fashion boutique owned by the wife of her husband’s boss, who uses the business as a hub for unbridled passion and unbridled fornication (as befits the great Vanessa Del Rio). There, Christine meets Giorgio, a wealthy regular customer who invites her to a private party where casual sex is the leitmotif. Christine doesn't feel comfortable, and before leaving, she is gently seduced by a painter (a brilliant Ron Jeremy) who overwhelms her intellectually, and with whom she falls passionately in love while her husband is away. But Christine's love affairs don't end there, and her sexual journey forces her to rethink many things before making a final decision.

The enigmatic filmmaker specializing in fornication, Kemal Horulu, had already entered the world of hardcore with impossible-to-fulfill promises, but his output has been relatively limited, albeit interesting and, above all, ambitious. With a legitimate literary source as a reference, this script could have been adapted somewhat better, although the main cast makes the most of each character. There are some intense and memorable sex scenes, most starring Dominique herself, and also industry star Vanessa Del Rio, in the role of the roguish socialite Simone Foster. The production stands out for its fluid resolution, thanks in large part to the intrinsic talent of the enigmatic Larry Revene behind the camera.
