Review brief: Antonio Passolini crafted a vibrant, intricate film complete with extremely erotic sex shows. Every detail from the deep throaty voice of the narrator to the neon wigs to the way a cigarette is smoked adds to the visual masterpiece that is Café Flesh 2. This post-apocalyptic tale looks like a Warhol lithograph escaping into a fantastical wasteland. The sex shows on the stage at Café Flesh are smoothly built into the plot, amplifying the otherworldliness of the movie.The story takes place after World War III where society is divided into positives and negatives (actually positives are a rarity.) The negatives are destined to a life without carnal pleasures. Sex makes them physically ill. So Jeanna Fine, the charismatic Violet Chinchilla, tries to resurrect a club where positives used to hold sex shows for the negatives. Only problem is she needs to find some positives. Many flashbacks to the original Café Flesh (the original club not the original movie) are interspersed with Violets endeavor.The first scene with Rebecca Lord encapsulates the films brilliance.
