SICK: The Life & Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist

With Bob Flanagan, Sheree Rose, Sarah Doucette
Directed by Kirby Dick

This enthralling documentary by Kirby Dick is a jaw-dropping, shocking and heart-breaking look at the life (and death) of Bob Flanagan, cystic fibrosis sufferer and super-masochist. The ignorant who might think him a perverted freak will soon get an insight into the man's psyche, his fetishes and the terrible genetic lung disease he had to live with. Besides the eye-popping footage of Bob's S&M antics, his world is further elaborated on via personal videos and interviews with the man himself, his dominatrix girlfriend Sheree and his parents, all leading up to his last moments. One of the most notorious scenes (involving a hammer, a nail and Bob’s cock) gives a whole new meaning to the term "body piercing".
