Controversial, provocative, surreal...
A visually stunning and groundbreaking film
"A PLAYFUL AESTHETIC TRAUMA, IMPOSSIBLE TO ERASE."
BERTRAND MANDICO
AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 4K UHD AND BLU-RAY
In a post-apocalyptic future, irradiated humanity has split into two categories: the "Sexual Negatives," made sick by any erotic contact, and the rare "Positives" still capable of making love. At Café Flesh, a mysterious cabaret, the Positives are forced to perform under the guidance of Max, a sarcastic master of ceremonies, while awaiting the arrival of a promising new recruit: the star Johnny Rico...
A true cinematic oddity, Café Flesh delves into the themes of desire, frustration, and voyeurism through an unparalleled aesthetic. Orchestrating an orgy as delirious as it is exhilarating, drawing on the ritualized performances of Bob Fosse's Cabaret , the subversive humor of John Waters, and the unsettling and intoxicating world of David Lynch, Stephen Sayadian's film garnered the enthusiasm of some of the biggest names in counterculture, from Frank Zappa to Hunter S. Thompson and Bertrand Mandico. A provocative and cult classic, now available for the first time in 4K Ultra HD™ and Blu-ray™ in its electrifying restoration!
