This is another from the '70s basically-arthouse porn genre. Marilyn Chambers, darling of the skinema for that time, is back in action with a really lovely performance, both clothed and unclothed. The storyline is actually pretty dark, but for more "true-to-life style" sex and sexuality, it scores.
The premise behind the whole thing is that Eve, titular heroine, is in a terrible car accident that changes her as a person. Three different pornstar ladies portray Eve at different points in her life, including a twelve-year-old version of herself.
Now me personally, I love delving into the super salacious. And the insulated fantasy world of porn is a great place to do that! So, needless to say, the twelve year old as played by Nancy Welch finds herself involved in some really pervy exploits with a creepy friend of her father's. If this is something that makes you squeamish, be forewarned.
Another version of the character is Eve before the accident, played by Mimi Morgan. This is where some fun love story action enters the picture. Classically-trained actor Matthew Armon plays Frank, the man she comes across (in many ways) and falls for him.
The sex between them is fun and very representative of the period. At some points during their scenes he inexplicably becomes a black man? Well, double whammy ? awesome banging, and pushing the envelope at the time.
Eventually they get to Marilyn and post-accident Eve ? she's beautiful to see and hear, and it feels like a dirty privilege to see her engaged in such intimate physicality. She's amazing, and I love watching her in the throes of passion. No bones about that.
Thankfully she's in many scenes, including two swinging '70s orgies as kitschy and wonderful as you'd imagine (yes, a waterbed gets involved).
The Resurrection of Eve is a film I feel good for watching, at once for getting a finger on the pulse of the fascinating sexual/cultural lexicon of the '70s, and for getting to see Marilyn and these beautiful freaks sharing the love in a physical fashion. It's great. Watch it at your next party.

Resurrection of Eve stars classic porn angel Marilyn Chambers who, at this point in the early seventies, looks absolutely gorgeous. The film is slower and more dramatic than other story-driven pornos of this era and contains less sex than some of Marilyn's others like Behind the Green Door and Insatiable. There's plenty of arousing nudity and oral sex, as well as five orgy scenes, but if you're looking for copious on-camera penetration and cum shots, you won't find them here. The story is quite clever; we begin with Eve as a 12-year-old, experiencing her first sexual encounter with a man - her mom's fifty-something boyfriend to be exact. The scene is simultaneously revolting and exciting with young Eve being eaten out by and giving head to a man with the worst oral hygiene on the planet. Next, we see Eve as an attractive young woman (not yet played by Marilyn) who has a healthy (albeit boring) sex life with her boyfriend, Frank (Matthew Armon). However, one tragic day Eve's pretty face gets mangled in a car accident and when she emerges from her reconstructive surgery she looks even better than before (cause now she's Marilyn Chambers!). The remainder of the film portrays Eve's marriage to Frank and her struggle to become a more sexually liberated woman. As I said before, what the film lacks in lengthy fuck scenes, it makes up for in five montages of beautiful naked men and women kissing, touching and sucking each other with wild abandon. Resurrection of Eve may not be a balls-to-the-walls gonzo XXX movie, but it's definitely worth a look. - Cherry Honeywell
