'Preaching to the Perverted' is the next film on our continuing series "BDSM in Cinema" to be shown this Friday night at The Mark in Nashville.
The synopsis from the film's website <http://www.preachingtotheperv.com/dvd.htm> reads, "A young infiltrator, Peter, is dispatched by moral crusaders in Parliament to gather evidence for a private prosecution against fetish clubs operating all over Britain, where many of the saucier activities are illegal. From Peter's background as a virginal employee of the Holy Hardware computer company (motto: Log On To The Lord!), he is thrust into the sex glamour shock of these big fetish clubs and parties. Beautiful girls are there in abundance doing wicked things! The Member of Parliament, Henry Harding, for whom Peter works, is delighted at the incriminatory evidence his protégé soon gathers against the clubs. Peter, however, becomes infatuated with Tanya Cheex, a sex goddess from New York and leader of the fetish club scene on both sides of the Atlantic. He wants her to calm down, become "normal", and avoid going to jail. She wants to pervert him. The question is, who will win? There follows a moral dilemma for Peter of whether to give evidence in court against the woman who both attracts and repels him. He wants desperately to have a conventional relationship, which means making love... She loves him and is happy to play lots of games in bed but will never allow a mere man the pleasure of intercourse with her. Peter's journey as an innocent abroad is presented in an amusing, upbeat and as the adventure turns more bizarre, stylized way. Although some of the events portrayed in these clubs really do happen, this film is far removed from the traditional realism of British cinema."
"A film about lust, law and latex," this is truly a pretty film, more comical than heavy, and certainly one for the fetish fashion crowd and those in the fem dom/male sub scene (and even a bit of pony play thrown in for good measure.) And, it is full of great Dominatrix lines like, "Who said love wasn't painful?" and "I woo no man!" to "Eugene, stop electrocuting Peter!" and "Has this little zebra been gobbled before?" Oh... and did I mention it was one of the last films of the 20th century to be banned in Ireland (and other countries)... and we have the un-rated director's cut?!
Remember that The Mark is on summer hours now and won't open until 9:00 p.m. until after Labor Day. The film will start no later than 10:00 p.m. we have sodas and popcorn to share and you are welcome to bring snacks as well. There is no additional charge to view the film and take part in the discussion afterwards. Fetish fashion is encouraged to help set the mood for this one!
We are open Saturday night as well and are expecting an experienced, yet well behaved (!), crowd to be there. Here's hoping we are part of your plans as well.
