Product Description

SICK: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan,Supermasochist
A film by Kirby Dick

Bob Flanagan was an American performance artist, stand-up comic, poet and lifelong sufferer from cystic fibrosis. He was also a masochist who found that his S&M experiences helped manage the pain of his illness. He met his perfect dominatrix partner in Sheree Rose, and married her in 1982 while she hung him upside down from a ceiling (as Flanagan wryly comments during one of his shows, 'You always hurt the one you love'). In this internationally acclaimed, award-winning documentary Kirby Dick follows Bob and Sheree through the last years of Flanagan's life. Deeply moving, often hilarious, Sick is a profile of a unique artist, giving an insight into Flanagan's warmth, courage and, especially his sense of humour.

4.0 out of 5 starsMore touching than you'd expect
By Raf on 6 Dec. 2002
Format: DVD
I was drawn to this movie mainly by curiosity: I expected it to rely solely on the shock factor and expected to be completely grossed-out by the scenes I had heard about.
Bob Flanagan was an artist who suffered from cystic fibrosis (CP). Sufferers from this condition usually don't live past their late teens, but Bob survived until the age of 43. In this movie the viewer sees how he copes with his illness, but not from a medical point of view: Bob has become an adept of SM in order to take control of his body and for once master his sufferings.
While the movie is undeniably gross, it does contain a deeper meaning which is more evident than anyone would possibly expect. It is also a fun documentary since Bob had a great sense of humour.
Ultimately you watch Bob's death in his hospital bed and it is hard not to be legitimately saddened with the departure of a person whose creativity and sense of humour were daring and ground-breaking.

3.0 out of 5 starsBrave And Severely Disturbing
By Marty From SF HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on 19 Jun. 2004
Format: DVD
It takes a certain kind of brave and twisted person to turn his life and body into an S & M performance piece. Bob Flanagan is both sick and brilliant. Flanagan survived cystic fibrosis until the age of forty-two - a very long time. He attributes this to constantly inflicting pain on himself relentlessly over the years. His dominatrix partner Sheree, helps him with is goals. The various scenes are sometimes spliced with dark humor and other times simply shown in their bleak gruesomeness. There is nothing that Bob and Sheree have not done to him to inflict pain in the most disgusting ways possible. It's an entirely different world and it takes a strong stomach to watch. Bob specializes in abusing his penis in ways unimaginable, including a scene with a hammer, a nail and a board - there is blood. The most amazing part of this documentary is when Bob and Sheree take this 'performance art' to various museums in New York and Los Angeles. Bob allows himself to be raised by his feet, pierced, shackled and naked, high above the museum goers heads. It is disturbing. If you have an interest in the S & M/bondage world, you might find this interesting, but the scenes are so graphic and sometimes overwhelming in their intensity, it can be hard to stomach. This is a perplexing film.

3.0 out of 5 starscutting uncut version
By cartoon on 13 Mar. 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Have wanted to see this dvd for ages [ believe I saw Bob on some arts prog years ago] but this isnt an easy watch .It really makes you question your attitudes to illness/ disability/sex/fetish and what is kink to one person really seems weird to another . Bob managed to turn his body into his art and to fight against the sterotypes of being a pain victim .I really will remember some of the scenes for a long long time .
