From the vault: Cavallone's wildest trip into art, sex, and the grotesque.

Programmer's Pick

Alberto Cavallone doesn't just push boundaries—he steamrolls over them with Blue Movie. With its X certification, unsimulated sex, and relentless parade of nudity and taboo, this is Italian exploitation at its most transgressive. Not for the faint of heart, but essential for aficionados of art-house extremity.

Synopsis

Touching upon art, trauma, madness and sexual perversion Blue Movie centers around Silvia who has suffered an attempted rape. She escapes the attack and is rescued by Claudio, a photographer who takes her under his wing. Claudio is obsessed by war images that tell of death, devastation and pain. While working with a supermodel, Daniela, it appears that their relationship is bordering sado-masochistic. Things slowly build, with a fair dose of nudity and perversion.
