If you’ve ever wondered what a Lynchian porn film might look like, or just how sexy BDSM could be on screen in 1970s Paris — Zelluloid42 has got you covered! In collaboration with Muscle Distribution, we’re seeing out the summer with two very special gems from the Golden Age of Porn, presented in stunning new 2K/4K restorations! In CORRUPTION, porn legend Jamie Gillis takes a tour de force through guilt and moral dead ends, unfolding in dark, psychedelic vignettes as chilling as they are mesmerizing — pure American nightmare cinema à la David Lynch. Director Roger Watkins (Last House on Dead End Street) crams more grotesquely beautiful images into barely 80 minutes than should be physically possible. Highly recommended. Things get more down-to-earth — but all the more whip-heavy — in THE IMAGE. Based on the novel by Catherine Robbe-Grillet, then France's most famous dominatrix, Radley Metzger's film (The Opening of Misty Beethoven, Score) pulls us into a BDSM ménage à trois: Paris writer Jean unexpectedly runs into his old friend Claire at a party — and, shocked but increasingly curious, is soon dragged into her uncompromising, sadomasochistic bond with the younger, submissive Anne… Both restorations — produced by Vinegar Syndrome and Distribpix/The Rialto Report — will be screening in Berlin for the very first time!
