Suburbs, swingers, and scandal in a faux-doc peek at L.A.'s wife-swapping underworld.
SUBURBAN PAGANS
Stare at the orgies... Listen to the screams of pleasure and pain and try to imagine that these barbarians may live next door!
The members of this suburban community have anything but boring sex lives as they repeatedly trade partners. A fake documentary about clubs in L.A., where a barter with women has started. A reporter questions the people involved in this trade and an agent is also questioned.
Proof that suburbia's picket fences couldn't keep out the 1960s swap culture.
William Rotsler drops the pretense of suburban normalcy and cranks up the fake-documentary sleaze, chronicling the partner-swapping antics of L.A.'s least bashful neighbors. With strip poker as marital currency and a reporter poking into the mess, Suburban Pagans is less exposé and more parade of half-dressed suburbanites with a flair for the theatrical.
