 DVD Re-Issue of the Week
The Perfume of Yvonne
(D: Patrice Leconte, 1994)
Leconte's (Monsieur Hire, Girl on the Bridge) The Perfume of Yvonne is a tingling erotic homage to the best work of Tinto Brass, Jesus Franco & Radley Metzger, a sumptuous period piece that dabbles in politics, literature & art, but revels deliriously in desire. It's intellectual pornography (ala Georges Bataille or Alberto Moravia) of the first order...

Movie of the Week

Fanboys (2008, D: Kyle Newman)

 

A great trip back in time to the yesteryear of 1998, Chumbawamba at the party and nerds getting excited about The Phantom Menace about to come out. Much like Detroit Rock City (which also stars Sam Huntington), it's a wild cross-country romp revolving around a pop-culture icon of the 1970's. It's pretty funny and you should check it out.
