Cafe Flesh 2 (VCA) Review

Toss together a Voyeuristic Beatnik Alien, a load of Hot Babes in Wacky post "The Bomb" costumes, Mimes that get it on, a Defrosted Farah Faucett look alike. Shake, don't stir and you have what  came off like Passolini's fuck filled version of Alice in Wonderland (or is that Jeanna in Wonderland)

The Run Down

-VCA & Antonio Passolini's Cafe Flesh 2
-10 scenes, (8 sex) with a good variety of positions and a measurable heat factor.

Heat-8
Acting-7
Looks-8
Raincoat factor-1 (one condom scene)

"Picking up the saga long after the original cafe went bust, Cafe
Flesh 2 spins a psychedelic web featuring a frozen disco
babe, a talking brain, wasteland nomads haunting twins in
matching electric chairs, a get-rich-quick sewer rat, and
a sexy entrepreneur who'll do anything to re-open the original
club. And that just begins to describe the wicked wanton
weirdness, that is Cafe Flesh 2. Packed with eye-popping
sex, groovy costumes, far-out sets and a uniquely dark sense
of humor, this long-awaited sequel to the biggest X -Rated
Midnight Movie of all-time is destined to become
a cult classic in its own right."

What I Liked

-This was so much fun to watch! There were fantastic costumes with excellent make up to match, incredible set' s and prop's to look at. Not to mention a very nice collection of beautiful womyn. Eye candy galore!

-I would like to see Passolini step away from the lick, BJ, stick routine but there was a nice variety of positions as well as obvious transitions between scenes.

-Heat. Finally some heat! So often porn looks so mechanical. Stand here, lift your leg, insert penis. This DVD creates and holds it's heat throughout. Special mention to Rebecca Lords, she is beautiful and engaging. (although in my opinion far too thin)

-Loved the narration. This was such a great touch, it really took the hand (or mind as the case may be) of the viewer and led us through the story.

-For once the acting didn't make me wanna gag! Now mind you, there were no stellar performances here but it was almost believable.

-Really enjoyed the poetry slam interludes. What a fantastic touch, it really added depth to the plot.

-The use of common objects in a tight shot to add to the atmosphere and setting the tone for a scene. Brilliance.

-Dug the end credit roll with the bomb/fallout accompanied by the Go-Go dancer. The surrealism doesn't end with The End eh?

-Special mention also to D3, I know editing is a big part of making the artists vision come to life and you certainly did. Thank you for keeping the best bits off the editing room floor. ;-)

What I Didn't Like

-No features. I can't really say I didn't like this per say, it is an old DVD so I understand but let me say this...PLEASE RE-RELEASE with chapter stops and commentary. I cannot think of a better candidate.

Extras

None to speak of:

• Jump to a Scene (no Chapter Stops)
• Cast
  Not even a bio, just other films they've been in
• Other VCA Titles
• Play
   

I Would Recommend this DVD to

-Anyone. Period.

My Overall Impression

This DVD just OOZES with creativity and I cannot exalt it enough. From juxtaposed color between backgrounds and costumes, to the color washes and artistic blurs. Make no mistake, this is a weird film to watch, but it is just that, a film. The artistic intent is clear in every scene. I truly believe Passolini is attempting something larger here, to bring porn to a new level, or perhaps to give it dimension by sharing these creative visions with viewers.
