A few questions


Why did scenes of sexual activity feature women licking/slurping of arms (this happened in 2 different scenes) -why?
What was attached under the monsters armpits when at dinner table - it looked like Phalluses? - what's that all about?
Also noticed distinct lack of blood on aprons of The Baron and his assistant.
Furthermore the attack by Otto on maid didn't fit in with film - and was also ,it appears, forgotten about?

My only guess to the licking/sucking of legs and armpits was some sort of substitute for actual oral sex. I mean, I suppose from the right angle it could look like someone was doing that... but it's all very STRANGE. I don't quite know.

I think with Otto attacking the maid, he was attempting to *ahem* "*beep* life in the gallbladder"..? Only it went badly and she died. That's just my guess!

On the DVD commentary Paul Morrissey said that he hates standard "erotic" sex scenes (he thinks they're silly), so part of his agenda with this film (and other of his movies) was to make all the sex scenes as absurd as possible. I think he succeeded quite admirably.

Some people do have odd fetish's about things that the majority of people might not find to be sexually normal though too. Like some are aroused by shoes or feet for example. So whether he intended to or not some might be aroused by the armpit sucking etc. anyway. Who knows.

I've no doubt that some people are aroused by the kinky stuff in the movie, even the necrophilia, but I don't think that was Morrissey's intention. He was just trying to get away from the usual schmaltz.
