A chance encounter in London leads A & B on a bizarre journey around Europe.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s British-born New Yorker and unsung hero of gay underground filmmaking Peter de Rome produced a number of explicit, painstakingly crafted Super 8 films each of which took the viewer on an immersive sexual journey. In 1973, eight of these films were brought together as The Erotic Films of Peter de Rome producing one of the finest cinematic examples of the intersection of artistry and eroticism, in the tradition of Andy Warhol and Kenneth Anger.

Get on your knees and say "Hallelujah" for this unique collection of erotically-charged vintage gay porn scenes where sex and religion meet and mingle. These scenes are pulled from classics made between 1970 and 1991 that examine the various ways in which religion and sexuality connect, overlap, and clash. Sexuality as salvation; homoerotic religious rites; the suppression of sex and homosexuality by religion; erotic retellings of mythological tales; sin and kinky punishment; transcendent states of yearning. With solo scenes, pairings, and orgies and an emphasis on mood, experimental technique, psychology, horror, and social commentary - plus a few moments of comedy and romance - this collection ranges from gentle to rough; funny to frightening; elegant to trashy; glory to torment... from Heaven to Hell and everywhere in between.
