TESTOSTERONE (2004) Controversial Greek Sex Fantasy

1963DVD

A Young Sailor becomes a Sex Object on a Island of Women

director: Katepina Oikonomoy
starring: Oksana Akinshina · Artyou Bogucharskiy · Pauel Ponomaryov · Liliya Shinkaryova

Seldom does a movie instigate this kind of heated reaction. Concerned dissidents asked the Greek government to ban the film while numerous theaters received bomb threats. The critics were NOT complaining about the nudity on the screen, rather they were upset over the subject matter. Director Oikonomoy publicly met the criticism with an emphatic refusal to pull the film or make any edits.

A 20-year-old sailor named Peter finds himself on a deserted Greek island with no other man in sight. This island - somehow - is populated entirely with women. Regardless of age, it appears they all want to have sex with Peter. It's a flagrant male sexual fantasy. Or is it? Everything quickly transmutes into a nightmare. The film quickly looses its quirky erotic-comedy edge and begins to explore the primal fear men have for women.

A Greek Film with optional English subtitles; widescreen format (16:9), uncut print (93 min.), DVD encoded for ALL REGION NTSC, playable on any American machine.
