A lone vanguard will change the world. Isn't that right? The people will always be the people. The masses will always be the masses. An independent vanguard will shape the world! October.. im coming, too..

Pinku flicks are always a hot bed for political sharpness that reaches far beyond their peers or achieve a visual aesthetic that their contemporaries can't quite provide. This is no exception and is perhaps one of the great achievements in the genre for both politics and visual form. A real shame that often this type of movie is overlooked or underappreciated simply because it has an overtly sexual nature. Sex is one of the most political and visually enticing things humans do, why not celebrate that?

Burning vibrant color of passion and love. The only true experience of vision we experience. Truly chaotic filmmaking.
