MOVIE SUMMARY
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... but 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 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 an unforgettable viewing
experience. This release marks its official worldwide Ultra HD debut
and showcases a years-in-the-making 4K restoration.

REVIEWS “a film that any self-respecting fan of crazy
cult oddities should see. A new-wave post-apocalyptic arthouse adult
movie, it presents sex as avant-garde performance art, making it a
bizarre yet strangely compelling experience.” – B.A. Harrison, IMDB
The way it balanced that fine line between sleaziness and
stylishness was like watching a tasteful ballet in crotchless
panties.
