Format: VHS Tape
First saw this more than 30 years ago in an art house cinema in London.
A tour de force much derided as soft-core porn, unjustly IMHO.
The soundtrack alone is enough reason to own it with an eclectic mix from Pink Floyd to Sailor and many more.
It is a study in obsession while grieving and both beautiful and ugly, "jolie laide" as the French might say.
If you haven't seen it, try to.

HASH(0x96fe2870) out of 5 stars I Promise Never To Betray You 10 May 2004
By RHC - Published on Amazon.com
"I promise never to betray you"
With these precious words, the viewer is drawn into a visually complex, psychosexual morality play, starring the (...) seductive Sylvia Krystal as the streetwalker Diana, and the sensually stunning Joe Dallesandro as the seemingly happily married Sigimond.
But don't let the Beauty of these two actors betray you: La Marge, or The Streetwalker, is a unerotic tableau filled with biblical allusions that foreshadow an idyllic fall.
Director Walerian Borowczyck uses minimal dialogue, uncomfortable body language, and sharply contrasted shades of light and dark to weaken any hint of developing passion(...).
"I promise never to betray you," Sigimond whispers to his indifferent wife at the beginning of La Marge.
We then encounter Emmanuelle, (...) she is at an emotional crossroads, and has been lingering in Paris as a prostitute, using the name of Diana. She meets our enigmatic Sigimond, and soon falls in love with the gentleness of his love-making.
"I've never killed anybody, or hurt a soul. I'm not a liar or a cheat. I've never done any harm", Sigimond whispers, while driving down a dark, desolate road...
This film is a visual odyssey of symbolism and allusion that should not be missed - this is not a film of the pornographic genre. This film is a modern masterpiece depicting adults who are unable to differentiate between love and lust.

HASH(0x9885b2e4) out of 5 stars Trouble sleeping? This film will help. 7 Mar. 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This one is a real yawner. A happily married man leaves his loving wife and young son for a business trip in Paris. There where every woman in town works as a prostitute, he repeatedly picks up the same one night after night. The movie is filled with long pauses where nobody says or does anthing except sit there and mill about. The sex scenes between Joe Dallesandro and Sylvia Kristel are good; but the director's lack of character development chips away at the film's "tragic" intention.
