Courting Libido

About This Movie

Courting Libido is this intriguing blend of surrealism and exploration of sexuality that hits you with its oddities. The narrative dances around a hunky protagonist whose dreams take him places—strange, unexpected places. His therapist, with ideas that are as bizarre as the dreams themselves, adds layers to the plot. The film feels like it’s threading through a twisted version of the Twilight Zone, where the absurdity of sexual fantasies is played out in vivid, almost dreamy sequences. It's bold, unapologetic, with a tone that oscillates between playful and unsettling. Chi Chi LaRue's direction brings a certain flair, and you can’t help but appreciate how it challenges norms while offering up these unusual characters.

Courting Libido has garnered attention over the years, especially among collectors of niche cinema. The film's original VHS run has become a rarity, with its unconventional themes and explorative storytelling appealing to those interested in the less mainstream side of 90s cinema. Many collectors appreciate the film for its unique atmosphere and the signature style of Chi Chi LaRue, making it a topic of conversation for those who explore the depths of erotic and experimental films.
