Halsted Plays Himself by William E. Jones

Lars’s first review of the year

really liked it
Een waanzinnige biografie en bloemlezing over en van Fred Halsted, de Amerikaanse homo-pornoregisseur die leer, BDSM en fisting voor het eerst introduceerde in zijn films. Het boek geeft een goede schets van een filmsubcultuur waarin ik weinig thuis ben. Ik ben erg nieuwsgierig geworden naar zijn debuutfilm, L.A. Plays Itself, die ga ik zeker proberen te kopen.

*4.5

Eigenlijk een boek waar ik een heel jaar over zou kunnen doen, maar voor mij een belangrijke rol heeft in de laatste dagen voor de jaarwisseling. Mijn uitgave valt onderhand bijna uit elkaar.
