Inside a spacecraft from the planet Argoyos, the "audience" applauds a live sex show featuring Lina Romay getting impregnated by a group of silver skinned aliens!
Jess Franco has said that it's enough for him to put on a good show, an "entertainment" which will take the audience out of the quotidian. EL SEXO ESTA LOCO is perhaps the most extreme example of immersion into pure Cinema. There is no reality which has any kind of connection to the world outside the film, just a series of dreams, one after another, linked by the dreamer who shuffles characters and fantasy events around as in Bunuel's THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE or THE PHANTOM OF LIBERTY. We meet Franco playing "the director" who sometimes appears in mirrors filming the "action" with his camera crew. We're not talking French Deconstructionism here, it's the director having fun and giving us a look at the show behind the Show...

It's like Franco's version of the STAR WARS cantina scene!
That's exactly what it is. But this is for Adults Only. The Mother Ship seen at the end seems to tip of the hat to CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND.
