Thirteen shorts directed by Richard Kern, master of the Cinema of Transgression, shot in Super 8, over a ten-year period (1984-1993). From The Right Side of My Brain to Fingered, from The Bitches to My Nightmare, from Submit to Me Now to The Evil Cameraman, galleries of disturbing excursions into sado-masochism. Also included is The Manhattan Love Suicides (1985), a series of suicides committed out of love by an array of freak characters. It includes the story of a fan who pursues the great artist and as the young man writhes on the floor, inspires the idea for a new film (Stray Dogs); and a woman who disfigures her face to resemble her deformed lover (I Hate You Now).
