Review:
In Fetishes Broomfield invades the demimonde of dominatrix Mistress Raven, who runs a pricey Manhattan parlor, Pandora's Box, catering to fetishists. The documentary opens with black and white footage from an Irving Klaw film depicting models, including Bettie Page, wearing fetish attire. Nick Broomfield and his film crew then arrive at Pandora's Box on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue and are given a tour of the facility by Mistress Raven, including the dungeon and the medical room.

Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (2008)

Director:
Marina Zenovich

IMDB

Review:
There are few who are unfamiliar with the notorious Polanski sex scandal of 1977 which led to him absconding from America prior to the start of the trial, never to return. This recent documentary presents the case for both sides and leaves it to the viewer to determine the guilt or innocence of the legendary director.

Beyond Vanilla (2001)

Director:
Claes Lilja

IMDB

Review:
Much as the title suggests, Beyond Vanilla explores the kinkier aspects of sex on the other side of vanilla. With interviews, demonstrations and a good dose of how-to instructions, this documentary covers the gamut of fetishes and SM practices. From bondage, flogging and fisting to knife play, fire and golden showers, director Claes Lilja takes us on an unforgettable journey to the wilder side of sex. Sharing fantasies, experiences and pleasures, the over 60 people interviewed in the film help to blur boundaries and shed new light on sexuality and sexual practices. Open your mind and the rest will follow.

Review:
The film focuses on Tony Comes, a firefighter from Toledo, Ohio, who was first sexually abused by a Catholic priest when he was a fourteen-year-old student at a Catholic high school. Feeling ashamed, Comes kept his secret for nearly 20 years but was forced to confront his past after discovering that the priest, Dennis Gray, was living on the same street as Comes, his wife, and their two young children. Comes decided to go public and bring a lawsuit against the priest as well as the Church officials who had neglected to take action despite years of complaints.  The filmmakers gave Comes and his wife camcorders which they used to record many of the film's scenes. The film also features interviews with several other men who had been abused by Gray, and these survivors reunite to discuss their continuing struggles.
