Behind Blue Eyes 2

About This Movie

So, 'Behind Blue Eyes 2' from '88 is one of those films that just sits in this strange corner of late 80s cinema. You’ve got this male producer and a female writer having conversations over dinner, which sounds ordinary, but the whole vibe is layered with tension and a bit of intrigue. They’re discussing not just the blue movie they’re about to create, but also the dynamics of gender—there's a certain rawness to their dialogue. The pacing is kind of languid, allowing for moments of reflection, while the mental undressing of other patrons adds this absurd, almost voyeuristic element. It’s not your typical flick; it feels like a commentary on sexuality and perception, wrapped in a somewhat off-kilter package.

This film has a rather elusive history, having not seen a wide release on any format till recent years, which inherently adds to its mystique. Early VHS copies are especially scarce, as it didn’t make a significant impact upon its initial release. Collectors often seek it out not only for its unusual premise but also for the way it captures a specific cultural moment in the late 80s, making it a curious piece for those interested in thematic explorations of gender in film.
