Stephen Sayadian directs Madeleine Reynal, Laura Albert and Gene Zerna in this avant-garde erotic film loosely based on the silent German expressionist classic.

Former pornagraphers take a crack at a Hollywood remake. There are some very beautiful women and very ugly men. They spout “satirical” nonsense directly to camera, deadpan. The sets are day-glo barebones. A few scenes feel like if Cronenberg directed a B-52s TV video. Hopefully, even though bizarre and explicit, they should be available on YouTube or TikTok. Eighty unending minutes of this though is dull and deadening. A cult item to avoid.
