It's all cutting-edge urban (if not exactly urbane!) hip-hop when hosts Fonz and Mike take over a television station and reprogram it with dicey humor, hilarious interviews with leading recording artists and some fly animated shorts -- all told from a hip-hop perspective, of course.

‘‘Miroirs Obscurs, slave collection’ is about endless sexual preliminaries, a prologue to an sado-masochist sexuel intercourse. The film redimensions erotism between apparition and vanishing, revelation and suspension as if looked at from the inside. No story, just a quake, a permanent tension, a continuous flux. Behind the metamorphosis of the body into an animal or even a chimere (?), something is at play between the rawness and the marvellous of carnal bodies. This video is part of the Slave collection : a series of portraits of men show as sexslaves.

Corner after corner are passed with the uncomfortable, anxious feeling that decades of horror film have imprinted in all of us.
