Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist (1997)
Synopsis of Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist
This documentary profiles poet/performance artist Bob Flanagan, who was born with cystic fibrosis. Flanagan explains, with engaging humor, how his obsession with controlled, self-inflicted pain has helped him to deal with his uncontrollable suffering. His philosophy forces one to look at sado-masochism with fresh eyes. The film includes explicit scenes of genital self-mutilation. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide
