A homoerotic space trip with harness-clad bird men, a fanciful emperor with a penchant for beaded gowns, and numerous scenes with our shirtless hero tied up and helpless. Delish. A golden phallus of cinematic art, Flash Gordon is Danilo Donati on poppers, going full gay outré space. Donati designed dozens of classic Italian films, working with Fellini, Pasolini, and the great costume houses of Rome. Here he gets shiny, sexy, and silly, so unbutton your shirt one more button and enjoy.
