Product Description
THE EROTIC FILMS OF PETER DE ROME (DVD)
A film by Peter de Rome
Amateur filmmaker Peter de Rome first started shooting 8mm films in 1965. Over the next decade he produced a collection of painstakingly crafted, atmospheric sexual scenarios which transcended their humble origins. Sexual consummation is rarely the subject of a de Rome film. Instead, the full experience of intimacy the longing, the pursuit, the passion, the afterglow, and in some cases, the aftermath occupies the frame.
The eight short films in the series take the viewer on an immersive sexual expedition designed to do more than simply titillate, producing one of the greatest cinematic examples of the intersection of artistry and eroticism.

Product Description
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Documentary, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Short Film, Uncut, SYNOPSIS: Amateur filmmaker Peter De Rome first started shooting 8mm films in 1965 producing a set of painstakingly crafted, atmospheric sexual scenarios for the amusement of himself and his friends. Pioneering producer Jack Deveau saw one of these at a festival and convinced him to collect eight of the shorts, blow them up to 16mm, and release them commercially as The Erotic Films of Peter De Rome. The eight short films in the cycle take the viewer on a charged sexual expedition which exists at the intersection of artistry and eroticism. Here, de Rome explores the full experience of intimacy - the longing, the pursuit, the passion, the afterglow, and in some cases, the aftermath. From humorous to sardonic, de Rome truly pushes the boundaries of filmmaking as his characters find themselves in surreal scenarios ranging from a wondrous garden to an underground subway. The Erotic Films of Peter de Rome showcase some of the most highly regarded gay art films ever made. ...The Erotic Films of Peter De Rome

I saw these films at the BFI screening and can't wait to see them again! They were a totally fascinating experience: imaginative, varied, and very sexy! The blurring of boundaries between porn and art film was very fruitfully explored and the whole event was like the 70s underground all over again, or an evening at the Scala cinema! Two I particularly remember took place in New York: one a sexual encounter on a subway train, which felt so vivid and blatantly erotic, and the other, called Prometheus, an amazing fantasy based on the myth, which amounted to an orgy in an apartment set to the music of Scriabin of the same name. It was totally mind-blowing. I thought at the time that these shorts were too good to be true and that there would never be a chance to see them again, but after a couple of postponements it seems they are finally going to be released for a discerning public!
