Gwendoline (1984)
50KGwendoline: Directed by Just Jaeckin. With Tawny Kitaen, Brent Huff, Zabou Breitman, Bernadette Lafont. Gwendoline, a runaway nun, arrives in Hong Kong on a mission to find her father, who was last seen in the legendary Land of the Yik Yak searching for a rare butterfly. She’s guided on her perilous journey by the selfish mercenary Willard.
“This movie is based on a comic strip Iu0026#39;ve never seen. The plot isnu0026#39;t much to talk about. It sure isnu0026#39;t as much fun as u0026quot;Raiders of the Lost Arku0026quot; or the other Indiana Jones films. And while there is some nudity and bondage (including Tawny) for the most part there really isnu0026#39;t much to the film. Adventure-seekers may want to look elsewhere. Bondage types might enjoy the dungeon scenes (which look more like a European art house than a Gothic-style dungeon) but theyu0026#39;re played for erotic-art rather than bawdy sex, and itu0026#39;s always fun seeing Tawny wearing almost nothing for most of the film. Costumes are better than the rest of the film, except for a) the scene where Tawny and Willard find the wreckage of some crates and have a spat, b) the scene where Tawny tries to rescue her friend who has been captured and thrown in the dungeon where a single thread held in her teeth is keeping a bow from skewering her with an arrow, and c) the scene where a female prisoner has been placed, topless, on a wheel and is slowly revolving around and around. Clips from the movie will probably turn up in bondage newsgroups because of this.”
