  • Michael Findlay & Roberta Findlay – Take Me Naked (1966)

    1961-1970EroticaExploitationMichael FindlayRoberta FindlayUSA

    From noirsville.blogspot.com
    This curiosity was directed by Michael Findlay. Findlay was probably the most famous of a small group of underground New York filmmakers that were in operation in the 1960s. Joseph W. Sarno, Joseph P. Mawra, and Lou Campa were the others and they produced exploitation “roughies” Roughies were films that combined Noir/Suspense/Thriller film elements with the new found freedom to exploit sex. These films were produced expressly for the grindhouse market. They were low budget, probably ran a week to ten days in a theater and made a profit.Read More »

  • Tatsumi Kumashiro – Yojohan Fusuma no urabari AKA The World of Geisha (1973)

    1971-1980DramaEroticaJapanTatsumi Kumashiro

    Considered to be one of the best Japanese films of the ‘70s, Tatsumi Kumashiro’s The World of Geisha is a keen examination of the swirling nexus that attracts sex to money and money to power. Set in a geisha house just before the Russo-Japanese War, a beautiful Geisha spends the night with a first-time customer who is about to be married. As an experienced geisha, she is not supposed to become personally involved (or sexually excited), but does anyway. Her fellow geishas, both young and old, become involved with a variety of relationships as Kumashiro boldly analyzes the politics of the period using images of rice riots, Korean uprisings, and the eventual Japanese invasion of Siberia.Read More »

  • Wesley Emerson – Wadd: The Life and Times of John C. Holmes (1998)

    1991-2000DocumentaryEroticaUSAWesley Emerson

    IMDB:
    Fascinating piece of Americana. Recommended!, 2 March 2000
    Author: Jens Kofoed-Pihl from Copenhagen, Denmark

    For a documentary “Wadd” ain’t so innovating, and maybe it’s too long but still my eyes were glued to screen. I knew John was a cokefiend and involved in a mob hit but I didn’t really knew he was vicious wife beater and a chronic liar/schizo that fed the cops info on pornproducers in the early 70’s. “Wadd” isn’t that pornographic (no penetration scenes) it’s more of a tragic story of a not too bright kid with the world’s biggest “tool”. Lots of people from the adult industry are interviewed (Goldstein, Flynt, Sharon Mitchell, Ciccolina etc.) as you would expect but also cops, lawyers, journalists and guys like Paul “Boggie Nights” Anderson are included. I know it’s almost impossible to make Holmes-docu that isn’t interesting but “Wadd” is a fascinating and important portrait of a legend that some called The Elvis Of Pornography!Read More »

    Quote:
    Kato (Ittoku Kishibe) is a small time TV producer. He has a wife Masako (Naoko Otani), and a young son Taro. Kato also has a friend Yamazaki (Akira Emoto) who he knew since college. Yamazaki has a girl friend Riko (Eri Ishida) who lives with her younger sister Yuko (Hitomi Takahashi) who’s an actress. Yamazaki is a lyric writer/womanizer and he starts to have an affair with Masako, but he’s still going out with Riko. Riko really isn’t too enamored with Yamazaki or to any man as for that matter. She has some deep rooted distrust for men in general. One day, Katoh comes home when Masako and Yamazaki is having an affair. Masako is in a skimpy negligee and claims that Yamazaki “just happened to drop by in the morning after getting drunk”. Read More »

    1971-1980EroticaHorrorJapanTatsumi Kumashiro

    Sachiko is on the run from the law after being implicated in the murder of her mistress. In her travels, she comes across the charming, squeaky-voiced Yoko who offers her refuge in her candle-lit inn. She can’t believe her luck. But of course, things are never that easy. Yoko calmly informs her that her husband, Ryûnosuke, is a cruel and violent man. Upon meeting him, it becomes clear that Yoko’s claims were not unfounded – though she has left out the part about how she enjoys cruelty and sexual deviance just as much as her significant other. The couple blackmails her and threatens to deliver her to the police. Sachiko has no other choice but to obey them.Read More »
