Overview

Smoke and Flesh drops viewers into the haze of a late-1960s New York City pot party, where Turk, a leather-clad hedonist, presides over a gathering of local heads. The festivities are a swirling mix of marijuana, LSD, voyeurism, and strip games, all set to a rock and raga-infused soundtrack. As guests get wasted and indulge in stoned sexual encounters, the mood teeters between uninhibited pleasure and looming chaos. When three aggressive hoodlums crash the bash, Turk’s grip on the night—and his cool—begins to slip. Drugsploitation, soft-core antics, and psychedelic bad vibes abound in this snapshot of countercultural excess.
