In anticipation of Hitoshi Matsumoto’s upcoming racy comedy R100, Midnight Madness takes a look at
past TIFF screenings that tickle our kinkier side.
Legendary porn star John C. Holmes became something of a household name thanks to Mark Wahlberg’s portrayal in the Hollywood blockbuster Boogie Nights (1997). Cass Paley takes a decidedly more sympathetic look at the icon in this documentary featuring candid and thought-provoking interviews with his friends, family and professional rivals.
Naked Killer (1994) dir. Clarence Fok
A bizarre and twisted tale of sex, violence and vengeance, Naked Killer remains a critically-acclaimed cult favorite in spite of its controversial content, which includes (but is certainly not limited to) scenes of castration and martial arts.
Dr. Caligari (1989) Dir. Stephen Sayadian
A pseudo-sequel to the German classic The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), director Stephen Sayadian twists the familiar tale into an outrageous and unrelenting sex comedy.
Get naughty with R100, screening this Thursday at midnight!
The Raspberry Reich
(2004) – dir. Bruce LaBruce
Controversial Canadian filmmaker Bruce LaBruce is no
stranger to scandal, and his 2004 film The
Raspberry Reich effectively satirizes the age of terrorism in an
unflinching assault on the senses. Filmed out of Germany, the film astonished
audiences with graphic sexuality set alongside a homoerotic anarchist storyline
and must be seen to be believed.
Wadd:
