Equation To An Unknown

Altered Innocence

1980.
Date Added: 2021/06/02
Directed by Dietrich de Velsa
Runtime: 99 min.
Country: France
Language: French


This long-lost masterpiece of gay erotic cinema centers on a handsome young stud who rides his motorcycle through myriad of sexual encounters, from a soccer game’s locker room to a dreamy and unsettling orgy where the film reaches its melancholic peak.

Newly scanned in 2K from the original camera negative and directed with absolute grace by the mysterious Dietrich de Velsa (aka Francis Savel/Frantz Salieri), this former painter was also the owner and artistic director of one of the first transvestites’ cabaret of Paris, La Grande Eugène. Years later, he collaborated with Joseph Losey on Mr. Klein and Don Giovanni. EQUATION TO AN UNKNOWN (Équation à un inconnu) is his only film and stands without a doubt as a masterpiece and the best French gay adult film ever made.

In French with English Subtitles.

“The most melancholic porn film I’ve ever seen.”
– Yann Gonzalez (Knife+Heart)

Nearly impossible to see for decades since its original release, the film was rediscovered by director Yann Gonzalez during his research for the film Knife + Heart (2018), researches he got from the director Hervé Joseph Lebrun who had made Mondo Homo: A Study of French Gay Porn in the ’70s (2014) and who was historical advisor for Knife + Heart (2018). Yann Gonzalez was so taken with the film, he tracked down the negative in a French film lab, commissioned a new 16mm answer print, and used this to create a subtitled DCP to share the film with a broader audience.

Curator's Note: PinkLabel.TV is curated by its creator Shine Louise Houston based on a set of criteria that aims to expand our notions of adult film. Our collection includes erotic and adult videos that often exist outside of conventional pornography, whether in depictions of bodies and desires that are underrepresented in commercial porn, through titles with historical cultural relevance, or movies with original concepts and cinematic craft. With these factors taken into consideration, we hope you enjoy the film.

Troubleshooting Streaming Video On your Computer:

Try Another Video: Try viewing another episode on the site to see if you encounter the same problem. If only one video on the site is causing an issue, please contact us via the form below (and mention which video is causing trouble).
Refresh Your Browser Window: This will reset the player, in case a temporary error occurred.
Close Other Tabs and Windows: Other open websites can sometimes conflict with video playback or overtax your computer's memory.
Check your Browser version: Our site works optimally on the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer. You can check your browser version and update to the latest at whatbrowser.org.
There is a rare issue with hardware acceleration in Chrome that can interfere with video - if Chrome is updated but video still fails to play, try watching in Firefox or another browser.
Check Your Internet Connection: Measure your current data speed at Speedtest.net and insure your current download speed matches what your ISP promises to provide. If it clocks lower than it should, make sure no one else on your network is downloading large files or streaming video, that you haven't exceeded any data quotas set by your ISP, and that you have a strong connection if on wifi.
If those aren't an issue, try resetting your home network:
  1. Turn off your computer.
  2. Unplug your Modem.
  3. Unplug your router if it's a separate device.
  4. Wait for around one minute.
  5. Plug in your modem and wait about a minute until all indicator lights are on. Then do the same for your router if you have one.
  6. Turn on your computer and wait for it to reconnect, then test your connection again.
If your connection speed is still lower than it should be, contact your ISP.

If none of these steps helped, and your internet connection is fine, please contact us via the form below! Give as much detail about the error you see and the steps you've tried as you can, including what browsers and operating system you use.
