Filmmakers shoot a porno to finance their Lenny Bruce biography
jbernhard10 May 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This early film from Fred Baker is fiction, but it plays like a documentary at times. Great NYC locations and atmosphere provides the backdrop, and the performances are very good. Joy Bang is a standout and she provides the film with it's emotional center. This was Bangs last East coast film before she went West to Hollywood. The plot concerns 2 filmmakers and their girlfriends, the guys decide to make a porno for some quick cash to finace their dream project about Lenny Bruce. This doesn't sit well with one of the girls, and as the project is put together and heads to the night of the shoot, tensions rise and relationships are stressed and strained. The movie climaxes with the porno shoot itself, where one girlfriend takes LSD and then takes part in the filming, while the other girlfriend ( Bang ) leaves, not sure if she wants to remain in her relationship anymore. While the film is low budget, it is very well made and a maintains a terrifc, authentic vibe throughout. Hard to see for years, the film is now available from the director himself at http://www.filmsbyfredbaker.com/ and is well worth a look, especially for fans of Joy Bang, who looks great and has a few nude scenes.
