Description: When a horny science writer finds ordinary women unable to keep up with his insatiable sex drive, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He constructs the perfect sexual servant...a blonde love machine. She is a curvaceous robot he names Kim, and she is waiting to be plugged in. Kim is totally uninhibited and committed to satisfying every sexual fantasy. The woman-object is total turn-on for her creator...and for you!
Not just the last movie the late Claude Mulot (a/k/a "Frederic Lansac") made for French adult theater giant Alpha France, but his hardcore swan song as well before a belated return to the relatively mainstream (albeit with soft porn epic L'IMMORALE, initially intended to signal the cross-over from X to R for luminous lust legend Brigitte Lahaie who bowed out at the eleventh hour), LA FEMME-OBJET remains a peculiar beast in the history of Continental carnality. Originating from an intelligent and literate script that proves a particularly cruel spin on the Pygmalion myth with a dash of Frankenstein, the film offers an incisive critique on the pornographic representation of men (as virile and irresistible) and women (as available and accommodating) by expanding upon these stereotypes, taking them to grotesque extremes. Frustrated by the genre's limitations, Mulot proceeded to give adult audiences "exactly what they wanted". Whether the audience's desire to view anything is dictated by what a movie-making industry has come to dictate through repetition or an active influence on said industry remains open to debate and will forever fuel many an analytical paper.
