Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Italian horror legend Lucio Fulci jettisons goes from scary to sexy with this blasphemous erotic comedy about a possessed politician who simply can't keep his hands to himself. After years of dedicating himself exclusively to the cause of politics, Italian senator Gianni Puppis finds his long-suppressed libido suddenly transforms him into a rampaging sex maniac. When a keen eyed photographer captures the potential future president fondling the posterior of a visiting female dignitary, a Dominican monk attempts to cure the politician with a relaxing retreat to a countryside nunnery. Once in the company of twenty-one stunning sisters, however, the senator quickly discovers that the word of God holds little sway over the urges of man. A sacrilegious sex-romp starring Laura Antonelli, Anita Strindberg, Agostina Belli, and Lionel Stander, The Eroticist offers a side of Lucio Fulci rarely seen by his many stateside fans.
