Forest of Beastly Desire

The gradual downfall and eventual demise of the beautiful, but troubled Mamy. Mamy is in love with André. He has to go away for a long time, but promises to return to her. But Mamy throws herself into an unhappy marriage with the lawyer Börje, whose best friend Michel makes advances towards Mamy. Michel's young girlfriend Linda seduces Börje. When Börje goes away, Michel sees his chance to conquer Mamy, with disastrous consequences. The film opens with the popular hit Mamy Blue playing over the titles, and also features music by the legendary German krautrock band Amon Düül II.

Lisbeth Lindeborg, who plays Mamy, did centerfolds in menʼs magazines such as Fib Aktuellt, Lektyr, and Mayfair. She also appeared in Mac Ahlbergʼs film I – a Marquis (1967). Following her role in the Nikkatsu production, Lindeborg left the film industry and later built a career as a political scientist in Germany.

“Swedish Sin” was an international concept and Sweden could not make enough films to satisfy the Japanese market. So, the Japanese company Nikkatsu flew in a team to Sweden in 1971-1973 and made six films with the tag line “Sweden Poruno”, all Japanese fantasies about Swedish Sin, acted out by Swedish actors.

Klubb Super 8’s Blu-ray release of Nikkatsu’s newly restored Sweden Poruno films marks the first time these films have ever been made available outside of Japan.
