Skin Flick (1999)
Director: Bruce LaBruce
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
No Skin Off My Ass goes Romper Stomper: LaBruce's dilettantish rough-trade porn jape proves horribly misguided. Meet cheeky chappies Dirk, Dieter, Wolfgang, Reinhold and Manfred, a dissolute skinhead troupe whose butch bonding adventures around London - queer-bashing and buggering, all in a day's play - are the film's singular interest. LaBruce introduces them separately, in the crudest of broad strokes. Dirk and Dieter administer a kicking in Abney Park Cemetry, intercut with the Changing of the Guard. Wolfgang raids old ladies' handbags, before a cottaging opportunity distracts. Reinhold, a plumber, is servicing a client's pipes. Manfred however, still a virgin, gets to perform pratfalls and come over a copy of Mein Kampf.Author: NB
