Skin Flick

Reinhold, a member of a skinhead gang in London, fucks his girlfriend Cameltoe in the kitchen. In the meantime, his friends steal, beat and fuck all over town on their way to Reinhold's house. Cameltoe is not particularly pleased when the friends arrive. Without any hesitation, they plunder the fridge for anything they fancy. Cameltoe and Reinhold have a huge fight and Reinhold kicks her out the door, which his friends think is quite funny. When they realise they have no money, they decide to drop in on a rich faggot. For his film Skin Flick, commissioned by the Berlin porn production company Cazzo, Bruce LaBruce returns to the gay skinhead theme he used earlier in his cult film No Skin Off My Ass. This film certainly contributed to the fact that getting dressed up as a neo-Nazi skin is a militant statement and fetish for some gays. With style elements from (hard-core) porn from the sixties and seventies, Labruce provocatively juxtaposes the gay undercurrent of almost all fascist - and homophobic - movements with the gays' sexualizing of fascist icons.
