Behind the Green Door 4K 1972

The kidnapped young woman is forced to participate in an orgy staged on a theater stage specifically for a distinguished audience.

The film feels like a mixture of pornographic theater, psychedelic trip, and silent cinema: the heroine hardly speaks, and the narrative is built on images and ritual. Visually, it is a strange hybrid of a theatrical production and experimental cinema of the 1970s: long shots, unusual angles, solarization, and color filters in the finale.

For modern viewers, the film may seem slow and monotonous: almost the entire running time is one long performance on stage, without the usual drama and character development. But it is precisely this hypnotic monotony that makes the film something of a ritual rather than a "normal" pornographic film.
