First Look at the Extreme Anthology – Analogies

Posted on by Jim Cox

After Phallacies shattered one of cinema’s last taboos — the male body — a new manifesto rises. ANALOGIES is its spiritual sequel, expanding the territory of Analogical Cinema and focusing its gaze on the most demonised and fetishised frontier: the anus.

A radical collective of filmmakers guides this new chapter:

  • Jake Valentine (Phallacies), initiator of the movement, continues to strip cinema of its moral armours, forcing the viewer to face the obscene as a political and aesthetic act.
  • Domiziano Cristopharo (Red Krokodil, Museum of Wonders) contributes with a hallucinatory tale of hypochondria, where obsession with one’s own rear becomes both paranoia and liberation.
  • Adam Ford (Torment) imagines a curious influencer who loses his mouth — an allegory of silenced desire and performative identity in the digital age.
  • Emanuele Marchetto (XXX Dark Web) dives into a surreal and intimate journey: a man torn between dream and exhibitionism, where the unconscious becomes a stage.
  • Tibor Astor (XXX Darknet: Red Lips), Jon Devlin (Erecting a Monster), and Pete Lankston (6 Songs) bring their uncompromising visions, weaving grotesque, musical and experimental textures into the whole.

ANALOGIES is not pornography, nor provocation for provocation’s sake. It is a dissection of the obscene: broken apart, reassembled, politicized. A dirty, desiring, collective scream — exposing the body not to shock, but to free it.

For the first time, we unveil exclusive stills from the film: fragments that anticipate a cinema raw, exposed, and uncompromising. Welcome to ANALOGIES — where beauty cannot exist without liberation.
