JUICE

Altered Innocence

72 min. Directed by Arthur J. Bressan Jr.

Curator's Note:

No other filmmaker better embodied the spirit of the gay liberation movement than Arthur J. Bressan, Jr. (Passing Strangers, Forbidden Letters). A true pioneer of queer cinema, his films fearlessly blurred the boundaries between the artistic, the erotic, and the cinematic--especially with his final two adult films, the critically-acclaimed Daddy Dearest and Juice.

Altered Innocence and the Bressan Project are proud to present these two classics of gay erotica, newly restored in 2K from their original film elements.


Description:

Jim Bennett (Michael Christopher) is a photographer with serious artistic aspirations—much to the chagrin of his editors (Eric Ryan and Jeremy Scott) at JUICE, New York's hottest gay magazine.

Tasked with finding and photographing more scintillating subjects by the end of the weekend or losing his job, Jim sets off on a 48-hour odyssey through New York's porn theaters and gay bars, encountering everyone from an angelic jogger (Vincent Thomas) to a pair of opera queen leathermen (Butch La Cross and Jeff Stone) in the process.

The final erotic film from Arthur J. Bressan, Jr., JUICE is a playfully sophisticated satire of the age-old tug-of-war between respectable art and pornography with a climax—literally—that has to be seen to be believed.
