A sexually and professionally frustrated writer seeks to shake up her life by moving into a Manhattan apartment. But when her sister unexpectedly shows up to stay with her, the ever-present hum of her kinky neighbor’s vibrator through the thin apartment walls dredges up memories of the games they used to play together when they were younger. An early feature from the “Ingmar Bergman of sexploitation,” Joe Sarno, VIBRATIONS is perhaps not sterling Positive Representation, but it is a fascinating example of the freedom that the genre offered filmmakers at a time when Hollywood wouldn’t.
Screening with a video introduction by Queer Cinema: Lost & Found programmer Elizabeth Purchell.
