While their respective mistresses are away, Mara and Tiffany invite
Cathryn to the "House of Shame", to perform a Oriental dance for
them. But while Cathryn moves her body to the rhythm seductively and
strips half naked in the process, too, the real drama is going on
off-stage in the auditorium (stage and auditorium used metaphorically here
only, everything takes place in the living room actually): Both Mara and
Tiffany are turned on by Cahtryn's dance, so much so that Mara, normally
the more passive one of the two, makes her move on Tiffany to finger her
to excitement - only to then push her away when Tiffany is about to
explode and to move to the other side of the room to masturbate, as if to
punish Tiffany and make her all the more excited at the same time. It
takes quite a while (during which Tiffany strips totally naked) before
Mara finally lets Tiffany move in on her - upon which Cathryn has to
realize she's no longer the center of attention - but she watches with
great interest what's about to follow.
There's plenty of skin in this episode of House of Shame,
plenty of bare breasts, vaginas in close-up, explicit depictions of
masturbation and whatnot - and yet, the film as such resembles much more a
silent drama than a piece of sleaze. Even though the situations are all
undeniably of a sexual nature, the story is not told via genitalia but via
gazes, via posture, via the positions of the characters to one another,
via editing that juxtaposes the dance scenes with the drama at hand, all
of which give the movie a certain elegance only rarely found in the genre. Very
nice, actually. If this has made you at all curious, you can
