ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

augustian For those who can get their minds to accept hard-core porn, this film is definitely a must-see. Set in a post-apocalyptic dystopian future, the people are split into two types: Sex-Negatives who make up ninety nine per cent of the population and Sex-Positives who are the other one per cent. The Sex-Negatives are violently sick if they engage in sexual activity and it is compulsory for the Sex-Positives to put on a sex-show in establishments such as Café Flesh.The sex acts, or tableaux, are surreal in themselves: a giant rat and cannibalistic babies and a pencil-headed boss just to give you a flavour of the utter weirdness of it all. All this and more accompanied by a deranged musical sound track but it is the characters who really make the film.All the characters are grotesque in their own way; but maybe not Angel the virgin who is the new star turn for obvious reasons. The real standout grotesque performance has got to be Max Melodramatic (Andy Nichols) the merciless mocking compere whose mockery of the Sex-Negatives knows no bounds. His performance alone makes this film the classic that it is. Even if you not keen on hard-core porn, this is one film that you should see.

The_Void This film manages to do a rare thing; we get treated to some great sex scenes, and the story surrounding the sex actually verges on intelligent! Director Stephen Sayadian's art house erotica may struggle to find an audience; art house fans will probably find it too trashy, while porn fans may find it too arty; but for anyone who likes something a bit different; Cafe Flesh is a definite must see. The film's back-story focuses on a nuclear war that has had a bizarre effect on the surviving citizens. The remaining population has been split into two halves; the sex negatives who become nauseous if they engage in sex, and the sex positives; who remain normal. We focus on Cafe Flesh; a club where sex negatives go to watch the sex positives perform various sex acts on stage. We follow a small group of sex negatives inside the club. The club has been elevated by the news of the forthcoming arrival of the famous sex positive Johnny Rico, while one of the negatives begins to question her status as her and her boyfriend grow further apart from one another.The thing I liked about this film most is undoubtedly the atmosphere; director Stephen Sayadian takes care to ensure that the club's atmosphere is as seedy as possible, and while helping the sex scenes; it also helps the film to enforce the dismal vision of the future. The sex scenes themselves are all staged and very diverse, which ensures the film doesn't get lost under too many samey sex scenes. The music used during these scenes is a real highlight and arguably even makes the film. The film doesn't really seem to have a particular point to make; and while the sex scenes are just the acts on stage, I do think that they are the main point of the film. The storyline between some of the main characters is decent, however, and the film does actually make the audience care about what happens. The ending does seem to be rather rushed, however, and really reinforces that the film doesn't have a particular point to make. However, this film is still undoubtedly one of the best porn films out there and it's definitely worth a look. Recommended.

erickov Cafe Flesh is an adult movie. Let's make no mistake about it. The fact is, however, Cafe Flesh only contains hardcore explicit scenes because that is the only way Rinse Dream could get funding for his film. The concepts are straight out science fiction. The remarkable vision of Rinse Dream screams unique. Mitchell Froom's soundtrack just adds to the overall feel of the film. The writing is simply poetic. If you are a conscientious movie buff that likes to have your brain stimulated, please do yourself a favor and do not miss this movie. If you are just into porn, you may not even get wood. This is a story...a post-apocalyptic nightmarish world of sexual slaves, tortured souls, and the dynamic interpersonal developments that come out of a nuclear holocaust. Cafe Flesh is BRILLIANT. Kudos!

chas77 For all of those people out there who whine about lack of plot in porn, here's the film for you. Set in a post-punk, post-apocalyptic American wasteland where the survivors are divided into two groups -- sex positives and sex negatives. The positives are "forced" to perform live sex cabaret shows at various Cafes. The negatives watch, unable to perform. This black comedy benefits from a great script by Jerry ("Permanent Midnight") Stahl and superb direction from Rinse Dream. You haven't lived until you see the bizarre cabaret skits and musical set-ups. Truly inventive stuff here, despite its low budget.
