Norifumi Suzuki’s seminal pinky violence (erotic actioner) flick starring Reiko Ike and Christina “One Eye” Lindberg. Sex and Fury was an obvious inspiration for Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill movies, and it contains an awesome sequence where Ike fights a group of baddies with her sword… completely nude. A few more stills…
Joe Dante (🙌🏻) and Allan Arkush’s entertaining B-movie about B-movies. Hollywood Boulevard is simultaneously a satire of- and a love letter to La La Land/low-budget filmmaking. A few more stills…
Yeah, a lot has gotten easier in the age of streaming, but it hasn’t been all progress: we have definitely lost the human element/connection along the way. People who were passionate about movies and (tv)shows, telling others about it. It’s a real shame.
The Traumathek looks like a great place. You’re right, they’ve got a great offering. It warms my heart to hear that a place like this is still going strong.
Ah, Köln… das bedeutet dass wir im Grunde Nachbarn sind. Grüsse aus Holland! :)
An artsy sexploitation movie from the king of artsy sexploitation movies, Jess Franco. Vampyros Lesbos stars the late, great Soledad Miranda, uncle Jess’ OG muse.
Jess is a filmmaker that is dear to my heart, having seen more than half of the 170+ movies that he has made.
