DVD Description
Destricted is the first short film collection of its kind, bringing together sex and art in a series of short films created by some of the world¹s most visual and provocative artists and directors.

Performance art legend Marina Abramovic delves into Balkan folklore to create an instructional series of mis-en-scenes that explore the crude, magical and mysterious rites of ethnic fertility and virility.

American fabulist Matthew Barney stages the erotics of sexual encounter as it takes place between 'green man' and the lubricated drive shaft of a customised deforestation vehicle destined for the Carnival de Bahia.

American artist and filmmaker Marco Brambilla ransacks porn-film archives to produce a witty, fast-moving montage of money-shots.

Larry Clark, cult anthropologist of American adolescence, directs a sensitive yet frank investigation into how, for the generation growing up in the 1980s pornography has shaped the way we think about sex and sexual fantasy. The result is a riveting documentary about desire and sexual inititiation.

Gaspar Noé, maker of 'Irreversible', the controversial art-house movie whose brutal depiction of rape left audiences physically sick, now promises to turn you on with a cinematically erotic journey called 'We F**k Alone'.

American iconographer Richard Prince appropriates a segment video that captures the generic gold-standards of 70s porn and re-shooting it in the manner of the cowboys, girlfriends and outlaws that first made him famous.

British art star Sam Taylor-Wood directs a porn star in a droll elegy to the great American outdoors.

Customer Reviews

Strong Stuff
I bought this DVD and can safely say it is the most explicit thing I have ever seen passed with an 18 certificiate.

Seven artists have made a short film each based on art and pornography. Larry Clark's is the best - a 38 minute film where Larry interviews a group of boys about their pornography viewing habits, before selecting one to have sex on camera with a porn star. Of the five girls, the young lad selects his favourite (the oldest woman there) and proceeds to live his dream as Larry films the event, warts and all.

Sync is good, as is Balkan Erotic, whilst Hoist and Gaspar Noe's segments are tough to watch, but never less than compelling.

Much more than explotiation, Destricted actually has a lot of validity in presenting its varied range of sexual imagery (is masturbation good?), and I'm sure it will become a huge talking point in weeks to cum...

Excellent - not just lots of very explicit hot sex! (but that as well...)
I was really interested to take a look at Destricted. I've known about it for a while and have recently noticed seeing it in my local Woolies and in WH Smith, which I was quite surprised about - considering the content.

My favourite film was by Larry Clark, in which the lead guy interviews a selection of fantasic looking porn stars who all get naked and try to convince him to choose them to sleep with. He then picks one and has anal sex with her in front of the camera! Fantastic! You see it all, I think this must be the first time you see full penetration in a video without having to go to a licensed sex shop... scandalously good

I recommend this to one and all

At last a
Destricted is a brave, and therefore controversial, showcase of work by leading American and British artists. It offers various insights into the dark world sexual fantasies and porn, calling into question the role of the voyuer along the way. A refreshing release by a daring distributer!
