简介:1774, a few years before the French Revolution, somewhere between Potsdam and Berlin... Madame de Dumeval, the Duke of Tesis and the Duke of Wand, libertines expelled from the Puritan court of Louis XVI, sought the support of the legendary Duke of Walchen, a seducer and free thinker from Germany, alone in a country where hypocrisy and false virtue reigned. Their mission: to export libertinage to Germany, a philosophy of enlightenment based on the rejection of morality and authority but also, and above all, to find a safe place to continue their misguided games.
简介:This long-lost masterpiece of hardcore gay erotic cinema centers on a handsome young stud who rides his motorcycle through myriad sexual encounters, from a soccer game’s locker room to a phantasmagoric and deeply melancholy orgy. A labyrinth of all-male fantasies whose outstanding beauties always end up fading away while leaving their sensual protagonist dealing with his own loneliness, EQUATION was directed with supreme grace by the mysterious Dietrich de Velsa (aka Francis Savel/Frantz Salieri). A former painter, de Velsa was also the owner and artistic director of La Grande Eugène, one of the first drag cabarets in Paris. Years later, he collaborated with Joseph Losey on MR. KLEIN (1976) and DON GIOVANNI (1979). His one and only film, EQUATION TO AN UNKNOWN stands as one of the most extraordinary erotic films of all time. “The most melancholic porn film I’ve ever seen. It’s very sad, and aesthetically beautiful. Just a young man wandering through several depictions of love and choreographies of love-making; it’s like a ceremony, a ceremony of fantasies, especially the last sequence where the main character recalls all his previous fantasies, which come one by one around his bed and make love to him. I think it’s one of the most beautiful film sequences of French cinema.” –Yann Gonzalez
简介:「少女情懷總是詩」,是1977年坎城影展最受爭議的影片,以大膽而唯美的映像,描述一名情竇初開的女學生與她的初戀,而她的戀愛過程中,又牽扯到女同性戀的情節。標題的「碧麗提絲」,是古希臘一位生活在賽浦路斯的交際花,據說她曾經以跟她同一個時代的古希臘女詩人賽佛(Sappho)類似的風格,寫下不少描述女同志愛情生活的詩篇,因此後來成了西方女同志的象徵人物,而她和賽佛所居住的小島「蕾絲柏斯」(Lesbos),更是女同志「蕾絲邊」(Lesbian)這個名詞的來源。1955年,最早成立的女同志組織之一,就用「碧麗提絲的女兒」(Daughters of Bilitis)當作名稱。
