A man, obsessed with sex, is dedicated to spying on women as they make love. 'The Voyeur and the Exhibitionist' forms part of the 10 films made by Jesus Franco at the dawn of the Spanish X cinema with very few resources, lots of imagination and a roster of enthusiastic actors and technicians who became pioneers of the genre.
Jess Franco and Lina Romay both directed this hardcore flick, although it seems all Franco with his slow moving camera and constant zoom shots. A woman (Romay) notices a man spying on her from a hotel room across from hers so she gives him something to look at. This is basically three short films, ala three sex acts, put together with a short running time of 54-minutes. You can tell this is one of Franco's quickies that he filmed in a day or two but it features a nice score from Pablo Villa as well as being somewhat erotic. Making this erotic might be Franco's greatest directing work considering Romay certainly wasn't in top form here. She's packing quite a bit a weight, which is rather strange because I've seen other flicks from Franco in 1986 and her look is quite different. Oh well, the crazy world of Franco.
