Super 8 1, 2 Bruce La Bruce, 1993

LaBruce stars in this vaguely autobiographical look at a tripleX stardirector caught in the downward spiral of his career. Remarks Googie, the arthouse auteur whos either exploiting LaBruce or launching his comeback, He was actually attempting to break down the whole subjectcamera relationship It was as if he was an existentialist trapped in a porno stars body. Well, almost. Just as LaBruces scrawny, hangover aesthetics challenge the conventions of gay porns Wonder Bread desire, his newly adroit camera unsettles narrative assumptions. A dense weave of selfreflexive interviews, cynical vignettes, and outrageous cameos by Kids In The Hall Scott Thompson and drag goddess Vaginal Creme Davis along with moments stolen almost verbatim from films like Fellinis 8 1, 2 and Perrys Play It As It Lays Super 8 1, 2 still manages enough rude sex to keep the whole unruly narrative in your face.
