Erotic science fiction whose original, enigmatic title was: Love is a river in Russia. A sophisticated, original vision clashes with bluntness, sexual revolution with sexism. Many other ambitious artists from the era who wanted to valorize erotica shared a similar ambivalence. The action in Spermula takes place on fanciful sets, where art deco meets retro-futurism. The Spermulans come to Earth in the form of beautiful women on a sex mission: they are to deprive men of their life-giving fluids and then colonize the emptying planet. Pastel make-up, a vintage spaceship, satin bed sheets, an old Rolls-Royce and sensual music that creates a cosmic (almost camp) visual feast. (New Horizons International Film Festival)
