Reviving the tradition of the risqué reportage, THE BACKSTREETS OF PARIS plunges us into a thrilling investigation, delving into the secret recesses of the capital where the tumultuous passions of men and women find refuge—for whom sex and the pursuit of perverse pleasures are the very essence of existence. And so, in the company of our reporter, we catch in the act: a shopkeeper reimbursed "in kind" by a lovely thief; a couple struck by "lightning" amidst a violent thunderstorm; the explosive erotic games of a bewitching trio; the strained acrobatics of a man attempting to sodomize his partner in a car; the libidinous exploits of a couple in a bar's restroom; and the lubricious excesses of a beautiful patron at a seedy love hotel.
