Wakefield Poole is an American dancer, choreographer, theatrical director, and pioneering film director in the gay pornography industry from the 1970s and 1980s. Wakefield Poole's Bible (1973) Moving! They started with 'Wakefield Poole's Bible,' which had never been available on home video. But catching up with them on DVD reissues I am unimpressed. The director states that he made MOVING! Content is exclusively explicit and (by most yardsticks) extreme homosexual sex acts, shot MOS with no narrative or story content - just like modern gonzo efforts. I would like to place this work in context: like Poole's claim to fame debut feature BOYS IN THE SAND it appears an extension of the work in mainstream TV and cinema of Ken Russell. Russell's best film, SONG OF SUMMER for BBC, popularized the music of British composer Frederick Delius, which was used for the distinctive BOYS soundtrack by Poole. The late British filmmaker stands alongside Bergman and Warhol (perhaps throw in Godard) among the leading influences on cinema in the 1. Bergman popularized the dark side (THE VIRGIN SPRING and THE SILENCE notably), Warhol the primitivism of technique and confrontational improvisation that spawned tens of thousands of lesser movies, while Russell's predilection for fantasizing in a masturbatory manner proved irresistible, unless you were an ornery film critic. MOVING! First and third segment consist of a man fantasizing about the sudden appearance of another man who will sexually dominate him, each coming out of the reverie at sequence's end - back to reality. Each of these two is centered around fisting, last segment in which you might call it . Also included is Poole’s notorious 1974 loop feature, MOVING!

He wanders through the lavish grounds and greenhouse of a home to let, and imagines a guy (owner?) materializing at the pool, with whom he has sex. The guy fists Culver who stands over the man to cum on his chest and face while still being fisted from below. Moving & One, Two, Three. Wakefield Poole's fourth feature film was originally made for 8mm mail order. I can think of the fistfucking scenes excised from Wakefield Poole’s Moving (1974) and Fred Halsted’s LA Plays Itself(1972). Everything written about these films. Though aimed at a mail- order audience safely closeted at home, this footage in 1. Finale stars Tom Wright (identified as Terry Weekly by interviewees on the DVD who recall the film and its collaborators) in . He fantasizes the drawing coming to life as Fisk, who fists our hero about as drastically as one could imagine and they mechanically have sex. Absence of passion or emotion renders this as gonzo junk in my book, but for fetishists it undeniably presents the intended shock value that even Russell might begrudgingly acknowledge, he being Mr. Shock at his end of the cinema continuum. The 1. 6mm film to video transfer and color degradation over the years renders this even harder to watch than intended, as when Fisk removes his fist the reddish tint of the image gives it a false bloody look.
