Big brother is watching you

About This Movie

This 1981 collection from Nova is a curious blend of short narratives, each featuring a different thematic exploration of desire and voyeurism. The film’s title piece, "Big Brother Is Watching You," sets a provocative tone with a surprising encounter between siblings, while "Sun Deck" takes a more lighthearted approach, focusing on the casual discovery of a nude sunbather. The pacing varies across segments, some lingering on moments of tension, while others are more playful. There’s a certain rawness to the performances, which gives it an authentic feel, even if the production values aren't as polished as mainstream fare. The practical effects are minimal, relying heavily on the actors' chemistry and the situations rather than elaborate setups, making it a unique entry in the niche of adult shorts.

This film has had a somewhat obscure release history, primarily existing in limited formats over the years. It's not commonly found at mainstream retailers, which adds to its allure for collectors. The combination of adult themes and short film format creates a niche interest, making it a curiosity within the broader context of adult cinema from the early '80s. Finding original prints can be a challenge, and many collectors are drawn to its unique storytelling approach.
