  • Joseph W. Sarno – Laura’s Toys (1975)

    1971-1980CultEroticaJoseph W. SarnoUSA

    Legendary arthouse sexploitation auteur Joseph Sarno was the brilliant creative force behind dozens of the greatest erotica films ever produced (Inga, Swedish Wildcats). His psychologically intense and sexually incendiary depictions of rampant female lust set grindhouse cinema screens on fire in the 1960s and 70s. Sarno films are heavily female-centric, and his women are strong, desirous and just plain naughty, and they always get what they want!Read More »

  • Mino Loy – Flashman (1967)

    1961-1970CrimeCultItalyMino Loy

    Quote:
    Though set in England, Flashman is another fun Italian production from the late 60s that leans on -attempted- humor and is heavily inspired by Batman. He’s even got a very Battish theme song… The somewhat convoluted plot concerns two gang of thieves who rob the same bank. One is a band of babes headed by a ruthless woman; the other is a group of thugs lead by a guy who has a serum that can turn anyone invisible. The employee they rob is none other than Flashman in disguise.Read More »

  • Goran Gajic – Laibach: Pobeda pod suncem (1988)

    1981-1990CultDocumentaryGoran GajicYugoslavia

    This film is about great Slovenian band Laibach (german word for Ljubljana, Slovenia). It depicts in pure “laibachian” style history of the group according to conditions of Slovenian history and political situation on the beginning of the 80’s. This film can be taken as a visual manifesto of retrogardist cultural movement called NSK (Neue slowenische Kunst – New Slovenian Art) presented here by Laibach.

    NSK is dealing with totalitarian principles of creating visual or performing art, but in these Slovenian guys living on the edge of germanic and slavonic cultures use a lot of humour, which can sometimes look little bit inappropriate, but really works.Read More »

    Kathryn Bigelow1991-2000CultSci-FiUSA

    Set in Los Angeles two days before the end of 1999, Strange Days introduces us to Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes), an ex-cop turned sleazy hustler who hawks the newest underground thrill on the black market: a “squid,” a headpiece that allows one to transmit digital recordings of other people’s thoughts, feelings, and memories into their brain; as Lenny describes it, “this is real life, pure and uncut, straight from the cerebral cortex.” Lenny deals “clips” (the software) as well as “squids” (the hardware) for this new and illegal entertainment system, and while sex and violence are the most popular themes, Lenny refuses to deal in “blackjack” — slang for snuff clips.
