Fascism on a Thread: The Strange Story of Nazisploitation

I didn't know much, if anything, about Nazisploitation before watching this. Sure I had seen a couple of these films but this documentary is so well done and in-depth on this crazy topic I loved watching it. It made me very curious to see all the bizarre movies it mentioned. I think it's so great documentaries like this are being made now. What a wonderful world :) I love how it goes into why these films were made and the serious arthouse movies as well as the exploitation flicks that just tried to cash in. It's really such a strange genre (or rather it's probably a subgenre of exploitation) but it's very interesting to see a serious analysis of it.

It was bound to happen. There's a documentary of the dreaded Naziploitation films. Yes, the movies that most likely are on the top of Britain's Video Nasties list have a documentary about them.. Sad! What's really sad is that I am familiar with most of the films mentioned. Oh well. I always wondered what was going through the mind of the performers in these films when they did those scenes? Oh well, for a look at a genre that will never be critically acclaimed, this documentary will give you some info on that genre. Whether or not you want your friends and family to see this is another story.

That wants to know all the filmgenre there is... and its very well made film about the phenomenon called nazisploitation, or how sex and violence where used in all its form by the nazis in their fight to establish the '' 1000 year reich'' , but most of all the s an m a and dominatrix techniques, a genre dominated by italians, french and canadians (not germans???) a genre known for its graphic sex and violence with a lowbrow factor, almost always edging the screens of the pornographic cinema theaters first, until eventually commercialised if successful.

so to all of you whos become curious, this documentary is like an open encyclopedia especially for the movie geeks among us, its not fodder for neonazis i can assure you it might kill your cat and idy-lice the mice, and could cause some abrasion to fainthearted sore skinned individuals due to lots of bare tits and bottoms and even some jungle snails that wants to extinguish the bush fires in front of their director. its very well made and hope other genres will be scrutinized as well in the years to come. a recommend from the grumpy old man

Everything you wanted to know about nazisploitation and maybe some stuff you didnt want to know...solid documentary on the genre

And there's always a "but"...

Somebody needed to make a doc on this fascinating subgenre of exploitation films.

Most of the most in that genre are unwatchable. But this doc is totally watchable and it makes one miss an era of taboo filmmaking.
