   A curious, controversial film (produced
   by an all-woman crew), consisting entirely of
   "tales" of sexual adventures (or fantasies) told
   by a group of youngish New Yorkers gathered
   in an apartment. One story prompts the next;
   the atmosphere is informal; the result -- a
   censorable, liberating example of verbal
   eroticism, quite shocking in its impact.
   It is the very absence of descriptive image
   and the ability secretly to observe "real"
   people freely recalling erotic experiences,
   that accounts for the film's effect: but the
   eroticism unquestionably also flows --
   non-verbally -- from the faces, hesitations,
   and gestures of the individual participants.
