This week we bring May to a close with a celebration of the most character of actors- Udo Kier! Two from his early days in 70s European art films and one of more recent vintage as a face among genre enthusiasts.
When Count Dracula, last of his line and quickly declining in health, must leave his ancestral home looking for a virgin bride for a quick sip to regain his lost strength. He travels to pre-Fascist Italy and becomes involved with the di Fiore family, impoverished landowners looking to improve their station. The only person standing in his way is estate handyman Mario, Marxist revolutionary and communal di Fiore lover. Will anyone have Blood for Dracula or will Mario sleep his way to the top of the social ladder first?A young photographer is taken by her lover, Renee, to a training facility for women getting deeper into the sadomasochistic lifestyle. Soon she is traded up to her lover's older step brother and sent for more training. The she's used to get her former lover a new woman by seducing her for him... and everyone is very detached and disaffected by all of it. Based on the notorious novel of the same name but jettisoning the lead's perspective to fully embrace the objectification inherent in the work- The Story of O.
Everyone's best known little wooden boy has been fully human for a couple of years now and finds his life with old Geppetto fairly dull. Just when the old puppet maker has a bout of exhaustion, Madam Flambeau's travelling sideshow and miracle elixir sales rolls into town with a shocking number of people connected to our hero's previous adventure. Desperate to cure his father so he will have less work to do, our real live boy makes a stupid decision and signs away his life to the side show... unfortunately, the wrong person becomes a living puppet this time. However will he escape the witch's grasp? The New Adventures of Pinocchio.
All that and Kevin shudders in delight, Tyler visits a happy place, and Dave is lost under the sea. Join us, won't you?
