This was Braun's third feature film. Braun had already produced and directed dozens of hardcore loops since the late 1960s, but he'd made very few full length features. This film stars the incredible Catherine Ringer, who plays Martine, the teenage daughter of a baron (Jean Gerard Sorlin). Martine is a sexy but spoiled young lesbian, who has a steamy and possessive affair with the lovely blonde Gilda (Gilda Arancio). Martine also has a sex slave named Nana (Gemma Gimenez), a girl from Uruguay, who lives in a travel trailer on the palace grounds. She shares her sex slave with a reporter (Jacques Gateau) who befriends her after interviewing her stepmother, Glenda (Gwenda Farnel), an actress who will soon be appearing in her first porn film. There are only four major sex scenes but they are well filmed, exciting and a genuine turn-on. Lasse Braun is no stranger here to eroticism. Body Love is different than his usual porn films. With higher production values, better story and original music (by ex-Tangerine Dream electronics whiz Klaus Schulze) it appears to be aiming for the larger arthouse soft porn audience that films like Emmannuelle were attracting. I think Klaus Schulze's soundscapes elevate this very attractive "arthouse" porn film into a genuine trippy experience.
