Original Title:
Sublime e Perverso
Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 70
In this definitive work, the author distills a radical and deeply personal vision of reality and human madness, crafting a film without a linear plot, composed instead of a sequence of autonomous and powerful visual scenes. In a continuous and hallucinatory flow, extreme grotesque and baroque pornography, mysticism, art, and desire merge into a single sensory and symbolic experience. Accompanied by the music of S. Lummi and M. Capitanio, the film takes the form of a contemporary infernal circle, where the viewer is dragged through images that reflect human obsessions, deviations, and ecstasies. A visionary and unsettling journey, where each fragment represents a piece of the eternal tension between the sublime and the perverse.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
