In written content, Enar Clarke senses the weirdness of Teuvo Tulio’s “unclassifiable” Finnish sex film Sensuela (1973), Micheal Diamades takes on another strange European sex film with Radu Jude‘s explicit Bad Lucky Banging or Loony Porn (2021), Shane Wilson moves from sex to drugs with coverage of the DIY Daymaker (2007), and Giles Edwards adds Up the Catalogue (see above) to our catalog. Onward and weirdward!
