If you loved Orgasmo, try these.

A Quiet Place in the Country poster 01

Movie / 1968 / Drama / Horror

A Quiet Place in the Country

Why this pick

Its affluent Italian setting turns into a destabilising psychological trap, with sensual unease, subjective paranoia and a steadily fraying grasp on reality that closely matches Orgasmo’s oppressive mood.

The Sweet Body of Deborah poster 02

Movie / 1968 /

The Sweet Body of Deborah

Why this pick

A glamorous Euro-thriller built around a wealthy woman, seductive strangers and mounting suspicion; it shares Orgasmo’s sleek surfaces and anxious sense that intimacy is being weaponised.

The Perfume of the Lady in Black poster 03

Movie / 1974 / Horror / Thriller

The Perfume of the Lady in Black

Why this pick

This is another stylish Italian descent into isolation and psychological disorientation, using elegant interiors, intrusive memories and uneasy social encounters to create a similarly narcotic atmosphere.

Footprints poster 04

Movie / 1975 / Drama / Thriller

Footprints

Why this pick

Like Orgasmo, it follows a woman through an exquisitely designed world where missing time and unreliable perception make every encounter feel potentially manipulative and dangerous.

Lizard in a Woman's Skin poster 05

Movie / 1971 / Horror / Thriller

Lizard in a Woman's Skin

Why this pick

Its polished 1970s milieu, erotic dream imagery and escalating uncertainty about what its heroine has seen make it a strong match for Orgasmo’s sensual, destabilising suspense.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

Kathryn West, a glamorous American widow, arrives in Italy several weeks after the death of her older, extremely wealthy husband. With the help of Brian, her lawyer, Kathryn moves into a luxurious villa and proceeds to lead a lonely, uneventful existence until one day, a handsome young man named Peter Donovan shows up at the front gate, looking for tools so he can fix his sports car. Kathryn lets him stay the night, and the next thing she knows, she's madly making love to him in the shower. Peter eventually moves in and is soon joined by a free spirit he introduces as Eva, his sister. Kathryn enjoys their company and partying with them - until she begins to suspect that Peter and Eva aren't what they seem to be, after catching them in bed together. Their relationship turns into a threesome, and when she begins to rebel against them, they keep her a prisoner in the house, doping her up with booze and pills, and depriving her of sleep by continuously playing a maddening pop song ("Anytime"). Kathryn suspects they are setting her up as a "suicide" for some nefarious reason.
