FORMAT: DVD
Misty Mundae takes a bath while Tina Krause combs her hair in the nude. Then they hop in the tub together and Misty washes Tina’s back. Eventually, she seduces Tina. So far, so great. Meanwhile, Ruby Larocca comes to New York and visits the Empire State Building. Later, while alone in her friend’s apartment, she performs a striptease at the window and plays with herself.
Misty’s Secret is a fine film, yet I found it a little frustrating. I mean, it features Misty, Tina, and Ruby naked, so it’s pretty much critic-proof, but still. I mean after the movie was over, I had like… sooo… many questions. First off, what’s up with Ruby taking her clothes off all by her lonesome and never interacting with either Misty or Tina? Were they just unused scenes from an uncompleted movie that were tacked on to boost the running time? Or is there a deeper meaning to it all?
Oh, and what’s up with the “Necktie Killer”? Is he there to show how fate can arbitrarily snuff out love before it has time to blossom? Or is he a moral crusader there to stop an “unnatural” relationship? We never really learn one way or the other.
Oh… and most importantly… WHAT THE HELL IS MISTY’S SECRET? She doesn’t say a word the whole movie. What secrets is she keeping? Argh.
Since Misty spends 80% of her screen time naked and 90% of that time in the bathtub, these questions are mostly irrelevant. (Maybe Misty’s secret is how to avoid wearing clothing.) In fact, Misty spends so much time in the tub I was afraid the poor girl was going to turn into a prune.
I think they have a name for movies that are ambiguous, full of unanswered riddles, and contain massive amounts of nudity: Art film. And as far as art films go, I’d say Misty’s Secret is Oscar worthy, if only for the massive amounts of nudity.
