Pictures From The Black Dance is the first film from the classic Dungeons of Europe Trilogy that was shot in 1988, fourteen years after director Roger Earl made Born To Raise Hell.
Earl and his producer Terry LeGrand shot Black Dance in London’s most notorious underground leather dungeon. Earl was taking a huge risk at the time he shot this film for the English laws on S/M was the most restrictive in Europe.
All in all, Pictures from the Black Dance offers the viewer, at times inconsistently, a kind of ut pictura poesis of BDSM and leathersex. Rather than, as defined by the Roman poet Horace, a poem resembling a painting that teaches and delights the viewer, this film is kind of a canvas which resembles both a poem and a dance through its complex uses of imagery and movement.
The viewer can of course enjoy the film as hot leathersex; I would argue it can also teach the viewer not only about some of the specific activities of gay BDSM participants, but about some of the fundamental power dynamics of the human condition. — SG
According to the famous Fledermaus, aka Tony deBlase, “the action is much closer to Born to Raise Hell than to Chain Reactions, and is still all safe sex! … Like Born to Raise Hell, this trilogy will be one of the major contributions to the erotic media for SM men.”
