Affliction (1998)

Synopsis of Affliction

This documentary looks at the lives and works of several underground artists from several mediums. Filmmaker Mark Hejnar intercuts shots of individuals who are well established in the underground culture like G.G. Allin, Mike Diana, Annie Sprinkle, Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, Full Force Frank, Turbo Tom and God Loves Over Dose. Much of the work performed and displayed on this documentary is considered shocking and graphic with a taste for the perverted, sadomasochistic and obscene. This video examines the other side of American entertainment culture, its dark side, re-examining the definitions of decency and art and exploring the tolerance of an audience's taste. ~ Forrest Spencer, Rovi
