Skin Flicks
During the late 1970's, director Gerard Damiano was without a doubt at the top of the adult film industry. Every film he shot during the era was a subtle masterpiece of erotic entertainment. Damiano focused on character in his films, crafting believable scenarios and situations for them to explore. The result was a style of sex video that hasn't been seen since. Psychologically driven yet intensely sexual. This 1978 opus focuses on the making of a porn flick, but it doesn't take the standard "Casting Couch" approach to the subject. Instead, Damiano focuses on the seedier side of the business, letting the camera capture the backstage machinations between an ambiguous actor and his sleazy strip club owning financier.
