Synopsis

Lower East Side bohemian couple Suze and Arthur become obsessed with a sadistic greaser gang, arousing previously unexplored desires and leading them to question the confines of gender, monogamy, and the sexual status quo. Please Baby Please presents a full spectrum of underground fetishism and seductive musical asides featuring alluring cameos by Demi Moore and Cole Escola. Visionary filmmaker Amanda Kramer pegs the hetero hellscape of the 1950s in a witty, syncopated riff that plays like a high camp emission from your wildest dreams – bathed in silk, sweat, and bisexual lighting.
