This documentary from Ronnie Larson offers viewers an insider's look at the making of homosexual themed pornographic films. His primary subjects are two noted filmmakers, the cross-dressing Chi Chi LaRue and the versatile (he also makes blue films for hetero audiences) Gino Colbert. He follows each through the making and marketing of a film; he also includes interviews with the actors and production personnel. Though footage from the resulting movies is not shown, viewers should be warned that there is almost enough graphic sexual activity and discussion to make this an adult film. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar, the Luis Buñuel of the 1980s, cooks up another perversely funny descent into urban hell in What Have I Done to Deserve This? Carmen Maura plays a middle-class housewife hemmed in by her wildly eccentric relatives. Her principal purpose in life is a balancing act: to keep her head fastened on securely while all others are losing theirs. Film buffs will have a field day toting up Almodóvar's visual and verbal allusions to the works of Buñuel, Brian De Palma, Billy Wilder, John Waters, and even Andy Warhol. What Have I Done to Deserve This? was originally titled ¿Que He Hecho Yo Para Merecer Esto? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
