Also known as: Eugenie, Evgenia, Philosophy in the Boudoir, The Story of Her Journey Into Perversion, De Sade 70

Mme. de St. Ange reads Marquis de Sade’s Philosophy in her boudoir and fantasizes about its excessive content. She has sex with Mistival in exchange for permission to take his lovely teenage daughter Eugenie to her vacation island. Eugenie was educated in a convent and sexually inexperienced. When she arrives, she and her step brother and lover, Mirvel seduce her into joining their bizarre sexual role-playing. A party follows, during which Eugenie is drugged and forced to submit to sadomasochistic games directed by Dolmance and his oddly-dressed followers. When she awakens from her stupor, however, Eugenie finds that the games have turned to murder.

Eugenie was an attempt to update and film de Sade’s explicit work without it resulting in mere pornography – according to Franco it is meant to be an adult fairy tale and fantasy. Towers’ script is strong, though not without flaws, and the direction arguably lifts the film, giving it a very dream-like atmosphere and artistic feel. Franco has referred to ‘Eugenie’ as the film of his that he hates the least, and it may well be considered one of his best.
