Flesh
5.7/10

Anna
7.4/10
A documentary ostensibly about Anna, a young drug addict taken off the streets by one of the filmmakers. Through her they attempt to explore the social issues from their hippie perspective, instead they create a revealing, uncomfortable self-portrait and inadvertently raise questions about documentary film-making.
Lonesome Cowboys
5.2/10
Five lonesome cowboys get all hot and bothered at home on the range after confronting Ramona Alvarez and her nurse.
Cleopatra
7.2/10
Cleopatra situates itself in the same relationship to Hollywood as the Warhol/Morrisey films of the period. It corresponds to Joseph Mankiewicz's 1963 Cleopatra, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton which Auder's cast watched and used as the starting point for scene by scene improvisation Auder drew his cast from Warhol's ensemble – including not only Viva and Louis Waldon, but also Taylor Mead, Ondine, Andrea Feldman, Gerard Melanga and others.
Dream City
6.1/10
A married couple of artists move to a utopian town known for its absolute freedom, but behind the surface perversion and violence are spreading.
Blue Movie
4.7/10
Viva and Louis Waldon spend an idyllic afternoon together in an apartment in New York City.
The Feature
6.3/10
The Feature does not reconcile fact and fiction; instead, it blurs the definitions seemingly represented by the film’s two clearly demarcated registers: that of the archival footage and that of the new, theatrical material. In his guise as “Michel Auder,” living a fulsome and extravagant life, replete with beautiful women and a rock-cut pool overlooking Los Angeles, the art world is revealed as a sham, and his character exhibits a repulsive narcissism. And yet, when caught in quiet moments, something poignant emerges—a glimmer of truth that rebels against the entire endeavour. Or maybe, that’s what makes The Feature.
S.P.Q.R.
In this movie, director Volker Koch wants to reveal "petty-bourgeois fixations of consciousness and late capitalist myths of happiness". The protagonists: an American hustler, a drama student, a Munich waitress and her boyfriend who hope for money, a career and luck from a trip to Rome together.
Punk Vacation
3.9/10
