Nerosubianco, styled as nEROSubianco and also released with the international title Attraction, is an Italian black comedy (part collage film) directed by Tinto Brass. The film deals with a variety of contemporary themes such as sexual freedom, racial tensions, and political radicalism from the perspective of a young upper-class Italian woman. The film has also been titled rather exploitatively like The Artful Penetration of Barbara and Black on White.[1]
Nerosubianco shooting began in October 1967 and it was premiered at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival.[1] The film saw theatrical release in February 1969.
Plot
Barbara (Anita Sanders) has accompanied her husband Paolo (Nino Segurini) to London. He leaves her at Hyde Park for his business transactions and Barbara starts sightseeing, soon to realise that an African American man (Terry Carter) is luring her.
