| French guy Member 335 Posts 9/01 |  Posted - May 27 2003 : 9:09PMJust saw on TV, a Swiss documentary called "I, king of porn" on Lasse Braun, labelled as the father of European pornography. He seems a very funny character. A genuine dirty old pervert who enters the business because he enjoys filming people getting laid. He was lucky enough to work during the golden age of porn, the 70s, where performers truly enjoyed their work, had fun on sets and were not in the biz for the quick cash. He was a pioneer in fighting censorship in Europe. The behind the scenes footage where he's trying to film a double anal is priceless. They also showed Lasse and son Axel Braun in LA. I wonder if the guy still directs. 2 bad his masterpiece, sensations, is not available on DVD over here.  [Link] |

There's a whole lot on the Web about Lasse and the unfortunate loss of all his "master" films etc. I think I had "Sensations" on cinefilm or maybe I'm getting the title mixed up. I seem to remember Brigitte (the pretty redhead). This is 30 years ago now isn't it ? Dick Miller in Prague knows Lasse personally. Regards,  [Link] |

| Met G. Member England 275 Posts 2/03 | Posted - May 28 2003 : 9:49PM Perhaps it should be called "The King of Porn" and introduced by Axel. Axel, can you clarify were all Lasse's masters destroyed in a panic and how many kinds of film types did he use. I only remember the "Lasse Braun" shorts on Super 8mm colour Silent I think they were. I think one was called "Satisfaction" and had a rare scene at the end, when the bamboo type curtains subsided. In those days, the Super 8mm sound ones were a bit scarce. We used to have "TABU" (Charlie Brown) in sound including Mary Millington "Miss Borloch", also "RIBU" with the actor who is still around who often used to play parts as "The Boss" and someone would light his cigarette for him, - these were in sound and larger reels (say 20 mins long). Other makes I recall were "Swedish Erotica" (USA movies with Seka, etc. - the girls often wore plain colour neckscarves), "Rodox" "Color Climax" "Teenage Sex" "Expo" and there was another good studio who had large size movies (I forget the name for the moment). I think they made a series of cavalry type movies (a series with a name "Josephine Muzenbacher" or something like this) plus of course there were other makes. Threading the film, accidental burns, bulbs blowing, noisy projectors and so on - how we've progressed for home viewing - yet the ordinary movies at the cinema are all still shown on film. There's nothing to beat it still. Regards, [Link] |
