Mondo Macabro is preparing a Blu-ray release of Jerry Stahl's
Cafe Flesh (1982), starring Michelle Bauer, Kevin James, Ken Starbuck, and Becky Savage. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on July 8.
Label description: Truly one of the most delirious film experiences you can have, CAFÉ FLESH is a dystopian sci-fi offering from one of American cinema's true originals. The time - five years after a nuclear apocalypse. The survivors - post-nuke thrill-freaks looking for a kick. Able to exist, to sense, to feel everything, excepting pleasure. In a world destroyed, survivors break down to those who can and those who can't. 99% are "Sex Negatives," call them "erotic casualties". They want to make love, but the mere touch of another person makes them violently ill. The rest, the lucky one percent, are "Sex Positives," those whose libidos escaped unscathed.
After the Nuclear Kiss, the Positives remain to love, to perform, and the others can only watch - can only come to the Café Flesh. CAFÉ FLESH is a legendary film, as fresh and entertaining today as it was when first released in 1982. Its unique visual style, fabulous score and provocative storyline combine to create a unique viewing experience. This release marks its official worldwide Blu-ray debut and showcases a years-in-the-making 4K restoration.
