THRUST IN ME | Richard Kern 1985

| Richard Kern, THE CINEMA OF TRANSGRESSION (Manhattan Love Suicides) |
About necrophilia, suicide, and bathtubs. Nick Zedd plays dual roles in this short-film as a street-wandering guy and a suicidal female. The male character finds the woman dead in the tub, and decides that since she's dead... well...
Man / Woman... Nick Zedd
Pimp... Don Houston

I HATE YOU NOW | Richard Kern 1985
About a deformed guy and his girlfriend the film repeatedly taunts the notions of “deformity” & “ugliness”. Richard Kern-artistic-underground-erotic-sick-fetishistic... the spirit of underground cinema... no compromise, explicit scenes, eroticism meets death. The type of stuff that Hollywood fare wouldn't dare to produce, and which the typical film buff wouldn't even care to look at. But if you're here, that's not you.
Man... Tom Turner
Woman... Amy Turner
Pot Head... Bob
"For those of you joining the party late, Richard Kern is a New York City based filmmaker/photographer who during the 1980's created a slew of short films that highbrow critics call "cinema of transgression" and everybody else calls "some sick and twisted s"""." Fusing the arthouse aesthetic of Godard meets grindhouse horror meets porn, Kern created a look and language for the post-punk subculture that grew (festered?) in the Lower East Side at the time."
