I Luv Video Presents
Weird Wednesday:
THE GIRLS ON F STREET
Rated R; 69min; Director:Saul Resnick (1966)
Location: Alamo Downtown
Completely bizarre episodic expose about the numerous forms of sexual
deviance that fester behind closed doors in a typical all-American skid
row neighborhood. Shockingly frank and experimental in tone and
execution. The visual vocabulary of the film includes carefully
composed expressionistic scenes as well as the more typical "new wave
by necessity" look of most '60s sex films: hand held camera,
overlighting, the use of a narrator to hold the story together (and
minimize expensive synchronized sound). As much as I love black and
white '60s sex films, most of them are just slack, lazy excuses for
nudity. This film is (literally) insane but every frame is fascinating.
When the parade of perversion is over you'll need a shower. Or a
flogging. Or both. (Lars)
