Entries like Jack the Ripper (1976) and Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun (1977) may have lacked the weirdness of their immediate predecessors, but compensated with superior production values and greater accessibility, while the Romay-starring Doriana Grey (1976) showcases the director's ability to use the pornographic form in a distinct, idiosyncratic way. --K H Brown via http://www.kinocite.co.uk/14/1485.php [Nov 2005]
