One of the best they have done together. Still, I might actually prefer the other cut. It just seems to flow better somehow. Franco Beautifully shot and scored movie by Jess. It was shot entirely in Portugal. There are a few scenes that take place outside in the nature. The music was done by Jess himself and Daniel White. Most of the tracks are very haunting and sad. I would say this is one of the best soundtracks in all of his films. Both ought to come to a place in their marriage where they see this union as a way for them to grow and develop together.
Whether they are in the middle of child-bearing years or at a time when the union itself offers an intimacy that can only be had within that union, a married couple should see their sexual relationship as holy and sacred. A husband should learn ways in which he can romance his wife and put her in the mood while a wife should learn ways in which she can still give of herself when the mood doesn't manifest.
It is not right for a woman to expect faithfulness from her husband and yet stack everything against his being able to be faithful. It also is not right for a husband to always expect his wife to be intimate as her emotional and physical make-up is different than his and requires different stimulus, so to speak.
However, and most importantly, it is not right for either a husband and a wife to believe that "duties" are not part of the marriage. I know a woman who, for physical reasons, began abstaining from relations with her husband.
The reasons were legitimate, her ailments real. But as time wore on, and the reasons for abstaining from a sexual relationship began to wane, the physical intimacy did not get re-established. In the interim, her expectations of her husband's patience for the situation continued to mount. He loved her tremendously, but his physical needs were just as real as her ailments and as time went on, and he could see that she was not going to make an effort towards the intimacy they once had -- even if it would be different because of time and circumstances -- and he began to question her love for him.
His final, painful conclusion was that she no longer loved him and their marriage ultimately ended. Surely blame can be laid at the feet of both husband and wife and yet there can be no argument that the husband's need for physical love from his wife was as real as his wife's need for abstinence at the outset of her medical condition.
But once things began to change, there needed to be a renewed interest in their physical love for one another. Two very real Catholic teachings on marriage are important to understand when discussing a sexual relationship for husband and wife. The first is to recognize that a married couple's combined goal is to help one another get to heaven.
This involves the day-to-day responsibilities that require patience, perseverance, and commitment to the union and the family unit. In addition, to achieve this goal, both husband and wife must be interested in the faith development of the other and not only support and encourage it but never become a hindrance to it. You have heard that it is said, "You shall not commit adultery.
In other words, a wife should be cautious and not put her husband in a position where he will surely have committed adultery in his heart, break the sixth commandment, and then fall into mortal sin. The husband still has his own responsibilities and obligations to keep himself from mortal sin but the wife should not become "Eve" in her marriage. No prohibition in all the Torah is as difficult to keep as that of forbidden unions and illicit sexual relations. The knowledge that the physical intimacy that can exist between a husband and a wife is also something that can exist as an urge outside of that union has always been recognized.
But just as it is recognized, it is expected to be controlled. Catholicism has long taught the virtue of self-control and it is completely reasonable for a wife to expect that virtue to be practiced by her husband. However, she should not put him in such a position that the virtue becomes more difficult to attain. In the end, both a husband and a wife have duties or obligations to one another.

Did you know Edit. Did you know Edit. User reviews 2 Review. Top review. A film about perverts for perverts. Anyone who is familiar with the work of director Bruno Mattei isn't going to be fooled by the opening spiel of his mondo movie Libido Mania, which claims that the purpose of the film is to explore the subject of sexual aberrations, help us to understand them, and possibly cure them.
The real reason for this film is to titillate, making the viewers of this exploitative trash-fest myself included guilty of at least one of the 'perversions' described in the film: voyeurism.
Amongst the other '-isms' featured in the film are sadism, pygmalionism, exhibitionism, cannibalism, troilism, narcissism, masochism and nudism. The film also ticks off a few '-philias': necrophilia, coprophilia, and zoophilia. All of these are discussed by 'experts' and depicted for our viewing pleasure.
Most of the acts shown are relatively innocuous by mondo standards, at least , and are obviously simulated the poop in the coprophilia scene is clearly fake However, there are one or two scenes where Mattei goes the extra mile to push the boundaries of taste, with unsimulated water sports, a spot of messy sex-change surgery footage, and a bestiality scene featuring a German Shepherd that fortunately stops short of showing the actual act.
The director also chucks in quite a lot of footage from the third-world, as per many a mondo movie, including deflowering rituals, a nasty but presumably fake emasculation a native getting his tallywhacker sliced off in a gory scene that brings to mind the cannibal craze of the same era and the bizarre sight of tribesmen sticking sharp sticks up their nostrils to cause severe bleeding.
