After a nuclear apocalypse, humanity is split into two groups: the Positives, who have retained their aptitude for love making, and the vast majority of impotent Negatives, who only find pleasure by watching the Positives.
If the combination of “magic”, “magnificent” and “pornographic” seems impossible to you, it’s because you haven’t seen Café Flesh! What are you waiting for? This permanent filmic fantasy, that mimes your leanings towards your most secret nocturnal erotic dreams, is a pure hypnotic moment, wildly sensual, surrealistic and also somewhat Lynchian. By identifying us to the onanist Negatives, prankster Sayadian doubles fantasy with a brilliant mise en abyme of porn and our own voyeuristic gaze.
