What?



Roman Polanski

with Sydne Rome, Marcello Mastroianni, Roman Polanski





This little-know Polanski flick was made just between Macbeth and Chinatown. Not a masterpiece, but very interesting. It is an erotic parody of Alice in Wonderland (What?), mixed up with some Borges and Henry James touches (What?). It is quite obvious, that the filmmakers are aware that 99% of the material is just silly. The film is though very well shot.

The movie features Sydne Rome as the gorgeous Nancy, who escapes a rape on an Italian road, while touring Europe (the rapist gang get confused and start to rape each other), and takes refuge in a seaside Villa, where she finds sundry sexual perversions.


Minute 8: After a new attempted rape from the house dog, Sydne gets a room and ist top-less.

Minute 10: Sydne is naked; by this time she was making a lot of aerobics, so enjoy the sight.

Minute 11: she is naked again, now you can clearly see her pussy. She doesn´t shave (this was shot in the 70s)

Minute 14: still top-less; we get to see the fantastic villa; now she takes breakfast, notices that everybody is also naked, and meets Marcello (he wears terrible sunglasses, and a horrible moustache). Marcello praises her tits; she likes it! They date for later. You can tell she is one of these American tourists looking for sexual freedom in Europe.

Minute 20: Sydne is wearing a napkin; by now we know she is stupid, that Marcello is crazy, and that the screenwriter was either also crazy or high on something. Anyway, Marcello tells Sydne he used to be a pimp, she is fascinated.

Minute 24: we see her tits again, now she wears a pyjama. Polanski is also playing a character. There are some sex maniacs fucking and mouning all around.

Minute 32: Marcello is not coming to the date, instead Sydne meets a priest.

Minute 38: Rub your eyes! Sydne has found Marcello -dressed up as tiger- and is taming him with a whip.

Minute 39: Sydne had a good fuck, you can see in her eyes.

Minute 48: after having an erotic dream, Sydne wakes up without trousers, she blames Roman. Now she is really broken, forget about the rape attempt, being left without trousers is the worst thing a chick could go through!

Minute 54: now the movie is getting boring, Sydne refuses a sexual offer. She gets slept again; when she wakes up, this old arthritic guy is licking her pussy. They discuss, but finally they get on well and play a Mozart sonata together.


Minute 63: Sydne was supposed to date Marcello, but he is not coming; everything is happening just like the day before!


Minute 71: Grandpa appears, he also notices Sydne. There is also a german nurse reading Nietzsche.

Minute 79: Sydne and Marcello on the beach; we get a glimpse of Marcello´s crotch. They fuck, Sydne loves Marcello.

he is Napoleon now, and humiliates her (I didn´t find this one funny)


Minute 92: Sydne is playing Mozart again.

Minute 100: the movie is getting to long; Grandpa wants his pyjama back. Wait!... Sydne shows one tit again… Yeeeep, both!
Sydne gives an anatomy lesson...

... Grandpa dies

Minute 105: for some reason everybody is chasing Sydne, she runs away naked!!! It is raining, she has some trouble with the dog...

She leaves in a truck with pigs...
... The End!

A few years later Polanski was working on his sexual obsessions again:
