Countess Edna Luise Von Stein keeps her disturbed sister Milly prisoner. Confined to her bed, Milly suffers from a deep sexual trauma resulting from being raped as a child by a muscular gigolo after she had surprised him and her sister in bed. Is Milly incurable, or is that her sister left out of their father’s will and Molly will be the sole inheritor of his immense fortune on her 21st birthday? Edna and her accomplice Dr. Barrios have hatched a plot to have Milly declared insane. Over the years Barrios has been injecting Milly with a drug that has turned her into a nymphomaniac. Milly’s only hope is Joe, the only one of her numerous lovers to have ever succeeded in pleasuring her, who has fallen in love with her. Will he succeed in rescuing her from Edna and Barrios, and will Milly be able to live a normal life?Read More »

How to approach Mladen Djordjevic’s first film, a documentary on the Balkan porn industry, in the wake of the current crop of transgressive cinema coming out Serbia? It is cheap and shoddy and experimental – pretty much a on-the-job-training-ground for the wonderful and excellent follow-up, The Life and Death of A Porno Gang which lifts the best and most interesting visuals and story elements to puts them in service of a vastly improved narrative and artistic framework. The eventual (hopefully soon) DVD release of latter by Synapse Films will have Made in Serbia included as a supplementary feature; and that is about right place for it. It is overreaching and unwieldy at times, but this 97 minute feature is not completely devoid of charms and insight.Read More »

Les deux hommes vont tricoter les scènes, chacun à sa manière. Le cinéaste ne cesse de repousser le projet, arguant que la chute n’est pas bonne. Mais peut-être a-t-il une bonne raison de ne pas aller au bout de l’aventure … (from commeaucinema)Read More »

Les Gazolines est un groupe issu du Front homosexuel d’action révolutionnaire (FHAR) formé à Paris en 1972 et dissous en 1974. Leur nom proviendrait de la chanson Gasoline Alley de Rod Stewart. Le mouvement est fondé par Maud Molyneux, Patrick Bertaux et Paquita Paquin comme une «sorte de continuation du FHAR». Parmi ses figures les plus connues, on compte Marie France — en quelque sorte la « mascotte » du groupe, même si elle n’en faisait pas partie, une sorte d’«égérie» —, Hélène Hazera, Jenny Bel’Air. Constitué de travestis3 et de femmes déguisées3, le petit groupe se signale par sa provocation esthétique, idéologique, et ses jeux sur le genre. Read More »

A bored housewife rents an apartment where she indulges in all of her sexual fantasies.

Sounds almost like Bunuel’s Belle De Jour before it was made from an erotica director. But, Radley Metzger remade Last Year At Marienbad so to speak in his The Lickerish Quartet.Read More »

A circus clown turns out to be a quite a ladies’ man in this charming short story from the master of stag films, Cecil B. De Mézig. This is most likely the first stag film made in color, or more precisely in pornocolor as it is introduced at its very start. This was long before color became the norm in stag films in the late 60s.

This film is not yet listed at IMDB. Neither the actor nor the actresses are credited.Read More »
