Flesh was shot by Paul Morrissey while Andy was recuperating from his gunshot wounds. Warhol never actually attended any of the filming, although he was credited as the producer of the film in the New York Times review of it. During negotiations with the Warhol Foundation in about 1995 Morrissey waived the rights to a number of films (including San Diego Surf and Lonesome Cowboys) in exchange for ownership of other films such as Trash and Flesh. (JHA)

According to Joe Dallesandro's biographer, Michael Ferguson, the idea for Flesh was conceived on the set of Midnight Cowboy. Some of the Factory regulars had been invited to appear in a party scene in Midnight Cowboy and spent much of their time just waiting around on the set. Both Paul and Joe were there and came up with an idea for a film that would be about a boxer, incorporating some of the stories that Joe told Paul about his life or the people he had met on the street. (JOE72)

Paul kept in touch with Andy during the filming of Midnight Cowboy. Warhol thought it might be a good idea to make their own film about a hustler (even though they had already made one in 1965 - My Hustler), and release it before Midnight Cowboy was released. (Ibid) So, instead of making a film about a boxer, they made another film about a hustler, with Paul Morrissey saying that his inspiration for the film came from the 1960 Mauro Bolognini film, La Giornata Balorda (script by Pier Paolo Pasolini). (JOE 81)

Flesh was shot mostly on weekends during August/September 1968 at a cost of approximately $1,500.00. (JOE72). The scene between Dallesandro and Louis Waldon was filmed in the Greenwich Village apartment of art critic David Bourdon. (DB311) Joe was nineteen at the time. The film followed Joe's character as he turned tricks in order to pay for his wife's girlfriend's abortion. (One of his fellow street hustlers was played by Joe's real life brother Bob Dallesandro.)

The artist who picked Joe up in the film and took him back to his apartment to pose for him was Maurice Braddell, an old British actor who appeared in the science fiction film of H.G. Well's Things To Come (1936). Morrissey later used him in his own first feature length film Sleep Walk (1964). At the time that Braddell appeared in Flesh, he was working restoring paintings for museums. (JOE74-5).

The film also marked the debut of transvestite superstars Candy Darling and Jackie Curtis who Andy had met on the streets of Greenwich Village in August of 1967. Geri Miller, who gave Joe a blow job while Candy and Jackie sat reading movie magazines inFlesh, was a stripper in real life who had worked at Al Goldstein's M & M Club and the Metropole, as well as once popping out of a birthday cake for Mick Jagger. (JOE76) (See Geri Miller Interview)

According to Callie Angell, "Flesh opened in September 1968 and was a considerable success, running continuously at the Garrick Theater for the next seven months, after which it moved uptown to the 55th Street Playhouse." (FAW35) As per the ad below from the Village Voice, it opened at the 55th Street Playhouse on Monday, 4 August 1969.

Videodrome

IMDb
A sleazy cable-TV programmer begins to see his life and the future of media spin out of control in a very unusual fashion when he acquires a new kind of programming for his station.



Horrordigest

I'm glad Cronenberg has a real knack for making me feel really really stupid. Whenever I finish one of his films, I'm left with this empty, incompetent feeling of sadness and longing. Why am I not smart enough to understand these films? But then I wonder, is anyone really smart enough to fully understand the levels of depth and insanity that live inside Cronenberg's head? More importantly, when will we receive a film by Cronenberg about the depth and insanity that lives inside Cronenberg's head? And least importantly, what the fuck just happened? I say least importantly because I do realize that not knowing what everything means is normal and in most circumstances, encouraged...so there's that.

OK so here's the deal. James Woods is this kind of seedy TV programmer who works for a station that plays porn. One day he stumbles upon a pirated program called Videodrome-- a sort of snuff video that tends to excite people. Before long the real motives behind Videodrome are discovered and the parallels and connections between reality and TV grow stronger...a little too strong. OK I'm going to stop now because I just realized trying to give a plot synopsis of Videodrome is kind of pointless, especially for me whose head hurts when trying to recall minor details. In a similar way to my experiences with the plot synopsis of The Brood--reading the plot of Videodrome will not help you to understand the film at all, it only makes things more confusing. Plus, Debbie (sorry DEBORAH) Harry is in this so reading her name in the plot synopsis is even worse because ummm this isn't music it's a movie?

SPOILER ALERT! Remember that time that geisha doll became a dildo?

That was amazing.

But seriously folks, Videodrome is pretty unbelievable for more than a few reasons. For one- this movie was capable of foreseeing the future. Now more than ever, the prevalence of the theme of our lives being controlled by TV and reality crossing paths with TV could not be more palpable. However you choose to understand the film, you cannot deny that one of the overall messages is how our lives our often dictated by what we see on TV. And also TV gives us brain tumors. But mostly how it dictates our lives. We are made to feel emotional about people we don't know--(I don't know about you heartless people, but Kate Minus Jon plus 8 makes me cry). We scheduled our days around what TV show is playing that night and we hate actor's because their TV characters are pricks.

Not only that, the whole concept of the idea of pornography being something desensitizing and damaging to the mind, is not a far cry from how people often react to horror movies--of which Videodrome is often categorized by.

There are too many things going on!

Let's just get to the good stuff. So after James Woods sees Videodrome he starts hallucinating. It's not long before he looks down and his stomach has split open, revealing a slit or what I like to call a vagina.

I'm not making this up either--the body cavity represents a vagina and the gun apparatus- a penis. Freud, who is mentioned earlier in the film and Cronenberg are always talking about sex and how sexual organs are represented in EVERYTHING and always have to do with something that we don't want to think about. Like the Oedipus Complex---ick.

Perhaps a thousand times more frightening than the stomach vagina and the penis gun--is the flesh colored penis gun (but really just a penis) that comes out of the TV. Do not even try to tell me that this is not a penis because I will just laugh at you.

With all these penises and vagina's, you'd think I would be able to decipher at least some inkling of what this movie means, because I know about penises and vagina's. But I still have no idea.

What I do know--is that there is an overall sense of looking in. James Woods is watching a television program that takes over his mind and body, while we are watching the same television program---but also we are watching a movie about James Woods watching a television program---so are we then in a sense, watching ourselves or is someone watching us? This whole idea of voyeurism is once again prevalent when speaking of both pornography and horror movies and even movies in general. Watch Peeping Tom if you don't believe me. Movie directors are in many ways the very definition of a voyeur and we support it and are in turn, entertained. Does this make us the very scum that the Videodrome program sets out to destroy? Do we all have malignant brain tumors stewing inside our heads? Will the questions never end? I hope not. That's what makes a Cronenberg movie truly engrossing after all. We never claim to have all the answers, but watching it and attempting to understand it, is more than satisfying. Who needs explanation when you have your own ideas and imagination?

But for real what the hell? I feel like this guy.

Or maybe like this guy

Except I know better than to stick my arm in a vagina that has vagina dentata.

Idiot.

I suppose I will have to watch it again. And then maybe again. 5 times at least, and then maybe, just maybe I can start making some actual sense.

The highlight of this sometimes humorous horror film is the performance of Louise Lasser. Maddy (Lasser) is the mother of ten-year-old twins Todd and Terry (Mark Soper).

She receives a phone call saying that Todd has escaped, and the thrilled Terry begins to make secret plans to begin another killing spree.
