Confessions of a Frustrated Housewife
A wealthy man suffers from impotence whenever he tries to make love to his wife. Since Viagara hadn't been invented yet, his swinging liberal doctor instead recommends a strong dose of infidelity. Before long he is rolling in the hay with a young lovely and needless to say his impotence problem is cured (it's amazing that he doesn't have a heart attack though). His wife is a little bitter, however, and decides to embark on her own affair. And if you're wondering with whom, well, just look at the title.
A simmering exploration of marital ennui and forbidden desires, this 70s drama feels both rebellious and a touch melancholic. It's a sensual, steady unraveling of societal norms, steeped in a vintage aesthetic of liberation and longing, perfect for a reflective, adult viewing experience.
