It would take pages
to accurately provide a synopsis of this film. Instead, here is a a quick
surface sketch:
In the 1930's, a notorious secret society known as Spermula - with a philosophy
centered around the rapture of being - were driven from 'cultured
society.' Many years later, they develop a plan to return from the future
to conquer the world that once exiled them. Ingrid, the leader of the
Spermulites, orders her followers to render men impotent through blowjobs,
thus destroying the human population. There are numerous subplots (involving
randy priests, an underground sexclub called Ruth, midgets, model airplanes,
Marilyn Monroe and Pointer Sister impersonators, and cats-as-weapons)
before a young man named Tristan discovers he can regain his lost virility
by actually fucking a Spermulite. This act of copulation also kills the
invaders.
Even though he signed
the film as the director, Charles Matton never acknowledged his involvement
with this motion picture. Rather, he would always change the subject and
pretend this film never existed. He is best known for his painfully serious
period bio-pics (like REMBRANDT in 1999). But Charles Matton was much
more famous as a sculptor and painter. Actually, since Matton wouldn't
talk about this film, little is actually known about how or why
he made it. Mr Matton died of lung cancer in November 2008 at age 77.
The secrets of SPERMULA went to the grave with him.
