Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

augustian For those who can get their minds to accept hard-core porn, this film is definitely a must-see. Set in a post-apocalyptic dystopian future, the people are split into two types: Sex-Negatives who make up ninety nine per cent of the population and Sex-Positives who are the other one per cent. The Sex-Negatives are violently sick if they engage in sexual activity and it is compulsory for the Sex-Positives to put on a sex-show in establishments such as Café Flesh.The sex acts, or tableaux, are surreal in themselves: a giant rat and cannibalistic babies and a pencil-headed boss just to give you a flavour of the utter weirdness of it all. All this and more accompanied by a deranged musical sound track but it is the characters who really make the film.All the characters are grotesque in their own way; but maybe not Angel the virgin who is the new star turn for obvious reasons. The real standout grotesque performance has got to be Max Melodramatic (Andy Nichols) the merciless mocking compere whose mockery of the Sex-Negatives knows no bounds. His performance alone makes this film the classic that it is. Even if you not keen on hard-core porn, this is one film that you should see.

leeandfong Here in the UK many films with explicit sexual acts are being passed with an 18 (but not adult) rating in their uncut format, providing the sex is within context to the piece. Cafe flesh, the epitome of late 70s early 80s porn is probably one that would pass with glowing colours.What makes this film so extraordinary is it tackles themes that are interesting beyond pornography that probably couldn't be expressed any other way. Mainly it's focus is on sexual frustration, but also inadequacy and betrayal are taken in.The story follows a rag tag band of nuclear war survivors who can no longer make love. Sexual contact makes them feel violently sick (the negatives). A lucky few (the positives) are forced to perform sex acts on stage as entertainment for the negatives.Enter Nick, a negative ex football star, and his negative girlfriend Lana. They spend their nights watching the action at cafe flesh wallowing in their own self pity at being sexually incapable ....except...! Lana is really positive and hiding the fact to stay with the man she loves. When sleazy club compere Max discovers this, he antagonises Nick and entices Lana until she eventually is brought out of the audience and onto the stage by desire and sexual need. The final shot of Nick, crouched down and distraught while the club laughs at his inadequacies, his girlfriend being screwed on stage willingly, and with Max revelling in Nicks failure as a man, gives an emotional kick of considerable force you wont forget quickly.As it stands, the technical film making skill is at the poor end, the production values are low, and even the best DVD transfer is cheesy to say the least. But that doesn't matter as the strength of ideas and the emotional jolt it gives you seems far too talented for a sci-fi porn romp. The sex is normal, short, and played by ordinary people with lumps and bumps, not like the glossy super babe pictures of today. If you're expecting an earth shattering porn movie you may be disappointed.A very interesting film.

chas77 For all of those people out there who whine about lack of plot in porn, here's the film for you. Set in a post-punk, post-apocalyptic American wasteland where the survivors are divided into two groups -- sex positives and sex negatives. The positives are "forced" to perform live sex cabaret shows at various Cafes. The negatives watch, unable to perform. This black comedy benefits from a great script by Jerry ("Permanent Midnight") Stahl and superb direction from Rinse Dream. You haven't lived until you see the bizarre cabaret skits and musical set-ups. Truly inventive stuff here, despite its low budget.

Billy-25 I don't watch many adult films, but this one must be a classic. It has a plot that gives a reason for the sex. The sex scenes are intense and surrealistic. The production values are very high.
