JUSTINE: THE MISFORTUNES OF VIRTUE
D: Chris Boger (1977) ¢ ¢
Koo Stark, Martin Potter, Lydia Lisle,
Katherine Kath, Hope Jackman, Louis Ife
Cast out of the convent, an innocent young girl tries to safeguard her virtue in a world that never stops trying to take it away. Some of de Sade's philosophy comes through in this, but it's overplayed, episodic and depraved without being all that interesting. Koo Stark had a brief fling in the spotlight when she hooked up romantically with Britain's Prince Andrew, but her participation in movies like this one did not play well at Buckingham Palace. Roger Deakins did the camerawork.
