Miss Jones is tired of her life and commits suicide. She
comes to a place where its decided if she will end up in
Heaven or Hell. Because of her suicide she should go to
Hell but she has the option to return to Earth and live
life according to one of the mortal sins for some time.
She picks lust and a few days of carnal pleasure
follows.
This is what a sex film should be like. Even though the
sex is central to the story, the story extends beyond
the sex. Just as an action film needn''t be all action,
the sex scenes can be made more interesting by the
context in which they are set. The high production
values and memorable music add to the enjoyment. The sex
scenes themselves, while at times very explicit, favor
the sensual over the graphic. The scene with the snake
and an oily lesbian encounter are stand-outs. Many
consider the scene in which Spelvin takes on two men at
once to be the highlight, but I would disagree. Up until
this point the sex has seemed to be a natural expression
of Justine''s growing lust, but here the performers
appear to be just showing off for the cameras. The
wraparound Hell sequence is worthy of "The Twilight
Zone".
