Description of  Babylon Blue : An Illustrated History of Adult Cinema 1960-1998

Babylon Blue examines the '60s roots of global modern-day erotic cinema - from naturist films to the "nudie-cuties" of Russ Meyer - through to various incarnations of Euro-porn and hardcore, charting the rise, decline and resurrection of the genre since the early '70s. Finally, author David Flint chronicles the so-called New Porn Generation - the New Wave of adult movies, as epitomized by the sophisticated films of Andrew Blake, Michael Ninn and the Dark Brothers. Visually loaded with daring illustrations, Babylon Blue is the last word on sex cinema, featuring profiles of key directors, producers and performers, and detailed critiques of the finest adult movies of all time. The book contains interviews with sexploitation producer David Friedman, screenwriter Antonio Passolini, director Lindsay Honey and porn actress/producer Jane Hamilton.
