Customer Reviews of No Skin Off My Ass

I easily got past the gritty cinematography. I've enjoyed other movies with such poor quality image; seeing past the artist's financial limitations for the story they are trying to tell.

The problem was that this movie simply regurgitated a story (A Cold Day In The Park), and did it poorly. The dialog is actually a narrated script. It was like watching an episode of "South Park (tm)" with a dozen actors playing the parts...but 2 guys doing all the voices in overlay.

The sex...which is, I am sure the biggest draw to buy...is downright porno. There is fellatio penetration and some simulated sexual activity. However, it is not even believable that the participants want to be doing it. A fact which makes even less sense when you realize that [rumor has it] the skinhead boy is actually the main character's boyfriend in real life.

Overall, this movie is for the dedicated followers of Bruce La Bruce and nobody else. I don't believe it tells a good story, or that it makes any sort of film statement whatsoever. It's an excuse to redo a film and attempt to make it 'saucier' through the director's exploitation of his personal relationship.

I gave it 2 stars...but really as a reward to myself for making it through the entire film.

JUST PLAIN BAAAAD!!!
Sorry folks-I love low budget, off the wall, extreme camp, all the cult films, etc but this one just doesn't cut it in ANY genre. A lot of it is the same footage played over and over, same with the music. The sound quality is HORRIBLE, not to mention that a lot of the sound was recorded seperately and doesn't even match up to the moving mouths of the (dare I say?) actors. I think Bruce La Bruce might have been shooting at an "artsy-fartsy, foreign" type feel with this film, along with the B & W thing, but fell WAY short. The skinhead stays mute for about the first half, where he basically takes a very stupid & LONG bath, then dances around badly in only his boots, flailing his arms around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Purely stupid film. I rented it, so I FORCED myself to finish watching it, hoping something, ANYTHING would develop. The thing ended as stupidly as possible and made no sense whatsoever. Do yourself a favor and rent something else.

Oi, slag! Not your average queer film.
This movie really isn't for everyone - the poor sound quality and sometimes poor black and white filming will easily discourage the casual viewer from finishing the film. Those who stick through it, though, will be treated to a wryly humorous, adult love story which borrows its basic plot from "That Cold Day In The Park".

Bruce La Bruce puts in a fine performance as a hairdresser with a skinhead fetish. He comes across a skinhead in a park (played by the very cute Klaus von Brucker) and invites this seemingly mute fellow back to his apartment. The story circles around the hairdresser and his obsession with the skinhead (and skinhead culture). Along side this main story is the skinhead's sister (played by Gloria Jones) who's making a film about feminist revolutionaries...more-or-less.

Throw into this a great soundtrack (including Operation Ivy and Fifth Column), a truly bizarre apartment (just where did that pool/grotto come from?) and some Very Explicit Adult Content (yow!) and you've got something that defies easy classification. Occassionaly slow, but always interesting, it's definitely worth checking out.
