这部久违的硬核同性恋色情电影杰作以一个英俊的年轻帅哥为中心，他骑着摩托车经历了无数次性接触，从足球比赛的更衣室到梦幻般的、极度忧郁的狂欢。全男性幻想的迷宫，其杰出的美女总是最终消失，而让他们的感性主角处理自己的孤独，方程式由神秘的迪特里希·德·维尔萨（又名弗朗西斯·萨维尔/弗朗茨·萨列里）以至高无上的优雅指导。作为一名前画家，de Velsa 也是巴黎第一批变装歌舞表演之一的 La Grande Eugène 的所有者和艺术总监。多年后，他与约瑟夫·洛西（Joseph Losey）合作制作了 MR。克莱因 (1976) 和唐·乔瓦尼 (1979)。他唯一的一部电影，
“我看过的最忧郁的色情片。这是非常可悲的，并且在美学上是美丽的。只是一个年轻人在几部爱情描写和做爱的编排中徘徊；就像一场仪式，一场幻想的仪式，尤其是最后一个片段，主角回忆起他以前的所有幻想，这些幻想一个接一个地出现在他的床边，和他做爱。我认为这是法国电影中最美丽的电影片段之一。” ——扬·冈萨雷斯
This long-lost masterpiece of hardcore gay erotic cinema centers on a handsome young stud who rides his motorcycle through myriad sexual encounters, from a soccer game’s locker room to a phantasmagoric and deeply melancholy orgy. A labyrinth of all-male fantasies whose outstanding beauties always end up fading away while leaving their sensual protagonist dealing with his own loneliness, EQUATION was directed with supreme grace by the mysterious Dietrich de Velsa (aka Francis Savel/Frantz Salieri). A former painter, de Velsa was also the owner and artistic director of La Grande Eugène, one of the first drag cabarets in Paris. Years later, he collaborated with Joseph Losey on MR. KLEIN (1976) and DON GIOVANNI (1979). His one and only film, EQUATION TO AN UNKNOWN stands as one of the most extraordinary erotic films of all time.
“The most melancholic porn film I’ve ever seen. It’s very sad, and aesthetically beautiful. Just a young man wandering through several depictions of love and choreographies of love-making; it’s like a ceremony, a ceremony of fantasies, especially the last sequence where the main character recalls all his previous fantasies, which come one by one around his bed and make love to him. I think it’s one of the most beautiful film sequences of French cinema.” –Yann Gonzalez
