Café Flesh (1982)
Director: Rinse Dream Stephen Sayadian
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Though hardly on a par with the 1898 novel which foreshadowed, in most significant details, the wreck of the Titanic 14 years later, this slice of sci-fi porn does show a certain eerie prescience. Produced on the very eve of the AIDS pandemic, it proposes a future in which, following some plague-like visitation, the world's population is either Sex Positive or Sex Negative. In this tale, though, 'Positive' is good, means you can do it, whereas the unhappy Negatives can only congregate at Café Flesh, just to sit and watch. This is merely the framework for the standard hardcore action that follows - thought-provoking framework all the same.Author: BBa
