Way back in 1973 there was a succesfull movie about that theme that ran in the reguler theatres all over Europe: "La Grande bouffe". Contraversiol at that time, but everyone wanted to see it (like Emmanuelle, about the same time). Story: "A group of men ( Marcello, a pilot; Michel, a television executive; Ugo, a chef; and, Philippe, a judge hire some prostitutes and go to a villa in the countryside. There, they engage in group sex and resolve to eat themselves to death. Three prostitutes make it through a day or two; Andrea, a local school teacher, stays to the end. The villa, the food, and a Bugati roadster are essential props." Actors like Marcello Mastrioianni, Michel Piccolli and Philippe Noiret were serious actors who never played in a porn movie. They made it a serious film about sex and food and gave the whole movie a boost so that it could be regarded as a "normal" movie about a special situation. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070130/ Personally, I thought the film was above all boring. It's worth knowing because of the momentum in time where nakedness became normal and people went a few steps further. The film was accepted by the public, but a lot of discussion followed. Just what we needed at that time.
