    Venus in Furs could easily be considered Franco's best film. It is breath takingly beautiful. The film has a surreal quality to it, that it evokes a haunting emotion that stays with you. There are some shots that may be the best in any Franco film. The Manfred Mann ultra cool jazz score is incredible. Maria Rohm is so freaking gorgous here. She's been in alot of Franco films but the impression she leaves you with in Venus in Furs is part of that haunting feeling you take away. She's fantastic here. And so is James Darren. Klaus Kinski has a small important role. I would like to say he was under used here, he's only in a couple scenes, but hes not. The story sticks with the characters its supposed to stick with.
    This is as good as any of Francos best. And it is now a struggle for me to choose an absolute favorite Franco film. But this is a leading candidate!

    I adored this film, it feels like as if it is going to tell something really heavy, but the entire mood and the feel makes it more dreamy and smoky and feels up your mind into a state of confusion that is just riveting. An odd film, but a very interesting one.

    Easily, Franco's best movie. Trippy, surreal and erotic. Although it's not as sleaze as most of his films, this one still have some of his trademarks: Hypnotic jazz score, beautiful women (Maria Rohm looks specialy good in this one) and incredible atmosphere.
