Written in an exploitation-film vernacular, this black comedy is a throwback to more radical drug-fest narratives like FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS ... satire, with an edge of anarchy. Only, this time, it involves two desperate, inexperienced young women who venture into femdom subculture. Needless to say, this is not erotica. Nor is it politically correct.
PERMANENT OBSCURITY: Or a Cautionary Tale of Two Girls and Their Misadventures with Drugs, Pornography and Death by Dolores Santana (as told to Richard Perez)
A youthful bohemian satire, a story of alienated nonconformists, a "girls on the lam" story, a sexploitation and S/M romp. Welcome to the sordid world of PERMANENT OBSCURITY. Inspired by the underground sexploitation films of the 1960s, this bold updating of the "roughie" subgenre largely takes place in New York City's East Village (circa 2006), and it chronicles the rise and fall of a unique and intense relationship. Dolores and Serena, two chemically dependent, down-and-out artists set out to take control of their lives by making a fetish-noir/femdom movie. Of course, things don't exactly turn out as planned.
