Hedonistic Pleasures (1969)


































  A documentary on the dirtier side of Los Angeles and how people affect it or are affected by it. Supposedly secret cameras document everyday lurid scenes in which explore their sexualities and the capabilities of money over flesh...
  Ed De Priest and this film are highly underrated, if you ask me. Setting aside the fact that this flick is something between a documentary and a mondo but in the bad kind of way, if you watch it just for the pictures it is a fucking piece of art. Not meaning to shock or arouse, this movie has plenty of artistic and full-frontal nudity that comes together with a majestic psychedelic score that simply takes you away to nowhere. Watch it just for fun and it works. Watch it and try to find a meaning and you lost the game!
  Pat Barrington in a classic nude role, reminding her glamor in Mondo Topless. Sharon Well, Natasha Steel and Nancy McGavin complete the (female, there is no point in talking about the male one) cast and the result is psychedelic essence in its purest, exploitation form.
Must watch this : open your mind, prepare a glass of White Russian, set the lights low, mute the film and have this lysergic motherfucker playing in the background.One.Two.Three.Take off!

Mondo Topless (1966)


































  Not so much of a story here! Actually there is no story here. Only interviews of strippers and go-go girls of the 60's era (mostly American), with teasing videos of them in desert scenes and some smooth swing jazz-psychedelic rock n' roll by The Alladins in the background.That's mondo for you!
  Introducing the genre of mondos (or mockumentaries) : documentary-like films but with the only difference that they deal with taboo subjects or subjects that do not usually make a documentary theme (who else has seen a documentary on strippers???). They most certain thing is that you can't take them seriously but in a more light-hearted way. Actually, I have come to find myself learning a lot from such films but maybe that's just me.
  Russ Meyer does not need an introduction, especially not from someone like me. It isn't his most remembered film either but it shows his intentions and what's to happen later on his career. He takes some strippers and go-go girls, asks their opinion on some "hot" topics, throws them in the desert, adds some smooth tasteful music (one of my most favorite soundtracks so far) and lets the voyeur inside us appear! A vast quantity (and quality) of buxoms appears in our screens from women who seem to be long gone in the decades and strips of celluloid! Don't treat this as porn or you will lose the meaning, unless you are 12!
Must watch this : definitely in the summer, most probably when the sun hits the highest spot with a cold beer in each hand!
