"In Mau Mau Sex Sex the fun is contagious."
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times
"One hundred twenty-six breasts. Twelve dead bodies.
Gorilla sex. Nekkid trampolining. Rare footage of Dave
Friedman's sex scene in The Pick-Up (1968) and
Dan Sonney's ONLY film appearance, in The Fabulous
Bastard from Chicago. Rasslin. Chimpanzee acts.
Vomit bags. Tongue-ripping. Whipping. Burlesque. Four
Stars. Joe Bob says check it out."
Joe Bob Briggs, UPI
"Docu stands as a fine celebration of rebels before
rebels were cool. Hitting select venues around the country
for single-night screenings, pic will soon enjoy a long
life on the cult shelf in specialized vid stores."

MAU MAU SEX SEX
A digital documentary from
7th Planet Productions
Mau Mau Sex Sex is a rambunctious ride through
several decades of America's peculiar history of cinematic
sexuality, in which the culture's repressed desires
were shunted into the margins of show business. The
movie simultaneously offers a poignant look at two old
friends reflecting on their lives, families, and careers
in the confines of a business deemed wholly unacceptable
by the mainstream. In Mau Mau Sex Sex, you'll
learn who has the last laugh.
The movie is a collaboration between producer/director
Ted Bonnitt and writer/co-producer Eddie Muller. Executive
producer is Keith Robinson, co-producer and editor of
the Oscar-winning documentary When We Were Kings. It was shot entirely on digital video (DV) and makes
extensive use of film clips from 60 years of "sexploitation."
The 80-minute movie offers an inside look at the professional
and personal partnership of Dan Sonney, 84, and
Dave Friedman, 76, once the world's most prodigious
purveyors of cinematic prurience. |
