A great film about phone sex. Courtesy Rosebud Films
The Telephone Book is smut of the highest order. Every frame is perverted, twisted fun. I felt giddy the entire time watching it, like I was flipping through a
Playboy for the first time. Though there s no full penetration,
Telephone Book is, without a doubt, a pretty porny (or porn chic as producer Merv Bloch says) affair. The film is centered around Alice (Sarah Kennedy), a perpetually horny woman who receives Thee Most Obscene And Hottest sex phone call from an unknown caller. Determined to bang him in real life, she pours through the telephone book, encountering pervy stranger after stranger, looking for the peen that matches the mysterious voice.
SYNOPSIS:
A couple looking to spice up their sex life discover an underground cult of car crash victims who get sexual thrills out of road traffic accidents.
A timely release given that Brandon Cronenberg’s sublime
Possessor has hit digital platforms to positive reviews this month, with Arrow Video have delving into his father’s back catalogue to add David Cronenberg’s controversial 1996 movie
Crash to their ever-growing roster of 4K UHD releases.
Like with most films made by a Cronenberg the plot, when written down, looks to be something of – at the very least – an oddity or at the other end of the spectrum, the workings of a deranged genius.
