Product Description
A Bizarre Erotic Alice In Wonderland film by Roman Polanski. In this erotic comedy from famed director Roman Polanski, Sydne Rome stars as a very sexy and quite bewildered young hitchhiker. As the film opens, she has just escaped the clutches of three would be rapists only to find her way to a seaside villa. Things are, as she discovers, very strange at the villa. She is given a room and, within moments of undressing she is under the peeping eye of a hedonistic pervert, played with bravado by Marcello Mastroianni. She soon encounters the rest of the occupants of the mansion, all are completely anomalous and each tries to persuade her into a sexual encounter. Throughout her entire erotic adventure, she carries a diary under her arm and writes curiously impersonal and un-erotic entries. This is the the rarest of Polanski's films, but on some levels it may be his most revealing.

 If you like the art of Milo Manara... March 8, 2009

...Polanski's 'What?' is the closest you will ever see to one of his books translated onto film. I've never read it mentioned anywhere, but I would be willing to bet that Manara saw the film when it was originally released and has been drawing variations on it ever since. Not only does it contain a lecherous Marcello Mastroianni (who has been drawn into a number of Manara adventures), the absolutely breathtaking Sydne Rome is the living embodiment of the 'Manara girl', and the surreal Alice-In-Wonderland-with-no-clothes-on script has exactly the same feel as the sweeter natured of Manara's confections. Polanski fans may find 'What?' bewildering, but Manara fans will be absolutely and utterly at home. I can't recommend it more highly.

...Perhaps, one of the best uses of Mastroianni in a supporting role that supports more roles than a circus. This is a classic, which deserves DVD distribution and should be in every Polanski fan library. Give, Take!
