Blow Job
Viewed as a pioneering homoerotic work, Blow Job was described by Whitney Museum curator Callie Angell as “a nearly perfect piece of pornographic wit.” The camera never leaves the face and upper torso of actor DeVern Bookwalter, leaving the title and his facial gestures to imply the action. 1963, U.S., BW, silent, 16mm, 35 minutes.
