Bad Boys and Somersaults
The Good Old Naughty Days is a compilation of French pornographic short films produced between 1905 and 1930, recently discovered in someone's attic and restored by the National Cinematheque. It opened in New York this past weekend, and will open in Los Angeles in late April; those of use who live in between will have to wait for DVD. Some reviews:
Regarding the clunky American release title, Kehr notes, "For the record, the program's more flavorful original title was 'Polissons et Gallipettes,' which roughly translates as 'Bad Boys and Somersaults.'"
