Tho I'm not sure the 3+ hour version still exists.
The version I have on DVD is 159 minutes and I agree that the 3 hour + version no longer exists.

Last post by M.10rda - October 13, 2025, 06:42:33 PML'ENFER DANS LA PEAU aka SEXUS (1965):
It's been thirty years since I first read about Jose Benazaref's movies in Tohill & Tombs' immortal Immoral Tales and until now I didn't manage to stumble across a one of 'em. They aren't easy to come by and people don't often refer to Benazaref. Why is that? I finally came across a subtitled Jose Benazaref on a porn site (and it isn't porn!) and now I think I understand!
Imagine some teenagers in the mid-90s have a house in the woods all to themselves and they've got a camcorder. They also have a cool looking automatic rifle, a fake looking knife, two hunky popular male friends to play the lead roles, and (because of the hunky popular guys) two cute girls who are willing to take their clothes off and be occasionally menaced. They don't have a script yet fortunately they've just watched RESERVOIR DOGS again and also (because Tarantino has talked about it) they've watched parts of BAND OF OUTSIDERS (well, they fast-forwarded through most of it) so they more or less understand that the ingredients for any good movie include crime, philosophical dialogue, casual sadism, abrupt dancing, and guys in suits waiting for something and then killing each other. Also because they have the knife and they have woods, there will be a three minute knife fight and a long sequence of wide shots of people running through trees.
...SEXUS is that movie! Only perhaps lighter on the philosophical dialogue. They didn't bother writing a script, after all, so the actors are just makin' stuff up and none of them are as clever as Godard or Tarantino.
After this weekend I'm ready to either declare myself or the critical consensus of Letterboxd to be totally miscalibrated. Reviewers truly seem enamored of SEXUS. Honestly my description above oversells SEXUS. I was a teenager in the 90s and I tried to make films kind of like this, too, and in 1999 I helped screenwriter Simon Barrett (who went on to write YOU'RE NEXT and a bunch of other big-ish genre flicks) direct a short film that was also kind of like the diluted Godard/pre-Tarantino film that Benazaref has made, here. Simon's short was called THE NOTHING DEAL but it packed quite a lot of action and clever dialogue into 20 minutes. Benazaref's SEXUS is an actual "Nothing Deal".
2.5/5, generously.
