A camera crew follows Helmut Newton, the fashion and ad photographer whose images of tall, blond, big-breasted women are part of the iconography of twentieth-century erotic fantasy. He’s on the go from L.A., to Paris, to Monte-Carlo, to Berlin, where he was a youth until he escaped from the Nazis in 1936. We see him on shoots, interviewing models, and discussing his work. It’s not art and it’s not good taste, he tells students. We meet June, his Australian-born wife, whom he married in 1948. Three actresses talk about working with Newton and how posing is different from acting. A heart attack in 1973 helps Newton re-focus, resulting in more personal photographic projects.Read More »

Beautiful images, long static shots and even long stretches of black screen, a lot of idle talk (in italian) about Clodia, both the one Catullus loved and another one who seems to be a modern-day prostitute (with all the trappings of holiness and debasing that one would expect from high-brow eroticism).Read More »
‘Inspired by “Ma Mere” by Georges Bataille , and revisited by the Pataphysics of Alfred Jarry , “Further and Particular” obeys it’s own logic. Dwoskin talks about “finding a certain familiarity with chaos”.
An old man remembers the troubled relationship he had with his mother, the erotic games, and the phantasms in which she managed to attract him. The main line gives but a small idea of the film, of its erotic style, its choreographic dimension, its strange fragmentation. The film drifts along an ever renewed invention, intertwining lavish dances, mask games, musical comedy, parodies, permanent repression of the body offering itself as an object of desire to the viewer who is literally seduced.’Read More »
