After a string of successful film throughout the 1970’s, Sergio Martino’s films that he has directed since the 1970’s have been a mixed bag with a few standout exceptions like 2019: After the Fall of New York and Hands of Steel. Like many of his contemporaries his post 1970’s output has been primarily television projects. In many ways visually and story wise Craving Desire is the type of film that Sergio Martino excels most at as a director.

Is Craving Desire a thriller, is it an erotic film or is it melodrama. The answer is it is all of the above. One of the most fascinating things about Craving Desire is its chameleon like plot that never fully allows the viewer to relax. At the core of this torrid thriller is a young man named Luigi who has a dream job and a fiance. To stir things an up a bit the plot introduces us to his cousin Sonia who quickly injects herself into his life. Like an incurable disease Sonia slowly infects Luigi until he becomes paralyzed without her. Just like most Italian thrillers the film’s unbelievable ending features a monologue from Sonia who explains her motive.

All around the acting is very good, especially from its two leads Vittoria Belvedere in the role of Sonia and Ron Nummi in the role of Luigi. While Ron Nummi is convincing as Sonia’s lap dog Luigi. The real attraction in this film is a spellbinding performance from Vittoria Belvedere. Another performance of note is Italian sex icon Serena Grandi, who is even given a scene to show off her more than ample assets. Ultimately Craving Desire is a tense psychological thriller that seductively lures you into its web of deceit.
