Flesh (1968)


The story concerns a bisexual hustler (Joe Dallesandro) who does tricks so that he can pay for his wife's lover's abortion. The film made headlines when it was confiscated by the police during one of its earliest showings in 1970. Though this event is unlikely to repeat itself, Flesh is still explicit enough to elicit gasps from even the most jaded of underground-film enthusiasts.

FLESH is an experimental film that shocked the world and was definitely a sensation when it was released in the big screen for it showed the first extensive full-frontal nudity by a male in the movies. Rolling Stone magazine in 1970 declared it as the "Best Film of the Year." Just looking at Joe's face then, no actor today -- decent or porn -- can match his genuinely natural appeal, setting aside the fact that he is a very natural actor.
