Underground Film Series: Flesh for Frankenstein

Flesh for Frankenstein, aka Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein (despite having at best a tenuous relationship to Warhol), is a delectably gory and cynical social satire from acclaimed filmmaker Paul Morrissey, who critiques gratuitous sexuality by those very same means. With an exceptional cast, led by Udo Kier, Joe Dallesandro, Monique van Vooren, and Italian child star Nicoletta Elmi, and featuring a lush soundtrack by Claudio Gizzi, Flesh for Frankenstein became an immediate midnight and cult movie sensation.
