What Can I Do with a Male Nude?
Ron Peck tests the thin line between pornography and art with his amusing rumination on the difficulties of showing the naked male form.
Director: Ron Peck
Overview
The problems of showing the naked male body in all its glory are laid bare in this witty short. From the unabashed nudity on Grecian urns to the homoeroticism of 1950s muscle mags, this strange history is related by an unseen photographer as he snaps a naked male model, his kinky commentary full of sardonic observations on society’s hypocrisies.
