 'In The Eye of the Hurricane' (1971) - José María Forqué.

Fabulously flamboyant Spanish filmmaker José María Forqué conjurors up one of the more luridly louche offerings of the perkily permissive 1970s, with his divinely duplicitous thriller 'In The Eye of the Hurricane' which boisterously remains a sublimely salacious, diabolically devious, superbly slinky, seriously salty, seaside-set, psycho-psychedelic, skin-drenched, teasingly twist-laden, Groovy Giallo diorama for refined film hedonists of all ages!

The serially-sinful, sensationally sun-slathered, tremulously titillating, fleshly endowed, dreamy-delicious Giallo 'In The Eye of the Hurricane' is also known by the far more mellifluous-sounding 'La Volpe dalla coda di velluto' (1971) and is gorgeously replete with abundant sultry 1970s B-cinema sexiness is now finally all gussied up in fashionably freakadelic High Definition. Director Forqué's deadly-decadent document of juicily jet-setting, frivolously aqua-netting, 'Martini-minxes-gone-mad' sly-jinks certainly makes for a Giallo good time, baby! This exquisitely playful 'Costa-del-death' celluloid curiosity has an outrageously camp 'swans-in-the-bathtub' nuttiness that endows 'In The Eye of the Hurricane' with an arrestingly perverse quality, making handsome devil Jean Sorel misbegotten machinations all the more fascinating to behold! Those estimable cult aficionados at 88 Films have once again lovingly restored yet another exotic, little-seen 70s grindhouse gem to a remarkably pristine quality!
