The Monkey's Mask is not a great film. The plot is not originally made and the thriller last only half an hour. Anyway it is interesting for some reasons. The lesbian love between Jill and Diana is very well interpreted by both Susie Porter and Kelly McGillis (a bit over-aged for nude scenes). Even though the only remarkable detail which worth the vision of the movie is the superb erected penis showed by Marton Csokas at the end (almost) of the film. Csokas is pretty handsome: his realistic interpretation offers a spectacular "out of program" to the - till now - exhausted and annoyed watcher. This is why director Samantha Lang must be considered an innovative sex-showed-maker. Italian director Tinto Brass has been fighting for years to demolish any censorship and censure in movies for total realistic interpretations. It is important not to fall in vulgar images. Samantha Lang's style is very elegant. She has directed sex scenes with authentic good taste. Marton Csokas, here, is the husband of Poetry professor Diana/McGillis. He is a very pleased partner to his wife and try to seduce Jill also. Marton Cksokas seems to be accustomed to play strong roles (Rain and Asylum for example). To see Csokas' sex excited is an occasion not to lose. It would be grateful to see a sequel, possibly more involving than this, but starring Csokas and Porter again.
