FLUCTUATIONS

1970 · 1h 10m · NR · Fantasy · IMDB TMDB

A bizarre don't-even-try-to-make-sense-of-it bombardment of sexual imagery that plays like stream of consciousness from a degenerate: threesomes, foursomes, lesbians, bondage, hair-whipping and, believe it or not, even kung-fu. Avant-garde masterpiece or pure gutter trash? Perhaps both.

Synopsis

The “narrative” cuts back and forth between a chick reading a smut novel to two dudes performing karate in their living room to a gal doing what has to be one of the most deliberate and drawn out stripteases in recorded history. Then a chick gets it on with two guys, only to be interrupted by her dominatrix, who whips them with her hair!

Experimental Softcore

This is not your typical erotic film—expect threesomes, foursomes, and surreal imagery in an avant-garde softcore package.
