Forbidden Relations (1982)

Forbidden Relations (1982), an import from Hungary, isn’t quite the definitive taboo epic. For one thing, Lili Monori is only having sex with her half-brother. Also, she doesn’t even know that she’s related to the guy when they first end up in the sack. Still, the locals are pretty upset when she decides to keep screwing her (half) sibling, and the local magistrate finally throws the guy in jail. This persecution only makes the lovebirds more determined--just as in the real-life story that this film is based upon. Speaking of real life, you have to love the realistic nudity from Lili. Her plain looks are positively decadent. She’s no beauty, but she’s certainly passionate, and it’s believable that she’d settle for one taboo lover over the billions of alternatives.
