In November 1922, Howard Carter and his backer, Lord Carnarvon, make an extraordinary discovery in the Valley of the Kings, the sacred burial ground of the pharaohs, near Luxor: the tomb of the frail young king, Tutankhamen. But the rumour of an ancient curse, of impending grief and disaster, threatens to mar their triumph... A stellar cast - including Tom Baker, Eva Marie Saint, Robin Ellis, Wendy Hiller, Raymond Burr and Harry Andrews - feature in this lavish HTV drama, filmed on location in Egypt and based on Barry Wynne's bestselling Behind the Mask of Tutankhamen. A small army of over 70 actors and technicians travelled to the Valley of the Kings to make the film, but this stunning, highly authentic production - allocated a budget of over two million pounds - was not without its own drama; the most frightening in a series of on-set incidents saw Ian McShane, originally cast as Carter, narrowly escaping serious injury when his car plunged over a 40ft cliff, leaving several cast and crew members feeling decidedly uneasy about the legend of an ancient curse!

Slovakian director Juraj Jakubisko is quoted as saying that the meaning of filmmaking is having the audience experience more miracles than they could expect in real life. While watching POST COITUM one is reminded of this maxim since the film - which employs numerous optical tricks - is one long progression of sexual encounters a vulgarized and modernized variant on Arthur Schnitzler's drama of indifference: everyone changes partners like other people change underwear and still don't find anything but their own emptiness. With actor Franco Nero as a photographic artist whose relationship to his models is not strictly professional Jakubisko also satirizes his own profession.
