Low and high brow keep a respectable distance in this campy, loose-bowelled adaptation of William Shakespeare’s play The Tempest. Troma Entertainment has been dumping its unique brand of independent shock cinema for almost 50 years, and for connoisseurs looking for their distinct aroma, Shakespeare’s Shitstorm does not disappoint. The uninitiated viewer may leave screenings disgusted and disgruntled. The director would have it no other way. He’s flushing his career with gusto.
This will be the last film from Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman, and he is really letting go. “Uncle Lloydie,” the 74-year-old low-budget filmmaking icon, is the centerpiece of the film. He wrote the script with Brandon Bassham, Gabriel Friedman, Frazer Brown, Doug Sakmann, and Zac Amico. Kaufman plays multiple roles in this tangled web of revenge and other fecal matters. As Prospero, Kaufman finds a mouthpiece instead of a codpiece, spouting undeniable truthisms in the name of pseudoscience.

Giving audiences a variety of low-budget teenage sex comedies and arthouse horror films over the past decades, his latest movie, “Return to Return to Nuke ‘Em High aka Volume 2,” is a continuation of his 2013 explosive feature “Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1.”

As much as Cannes is celebrated for pushing the envelope when it comes to arty and foreign cinema, any cursory glance over the films that have shown over the years would reveal pretty quickly that the world’s most famous film festival is something of a pervert. Or at the very least, it likes to make controversial selection choices full of nudity and occasionally unsimulated sex (a favourite on the Croisette it seems.)
So, we got to thinking about the very sexiest of those raunchy moments, not only from the films but from around the festival’s various publicity events in the past. And though some of the choices below might seem a little off-the-beaten-track, you have to bear in mind that we’re also talking about a festival that glorifies and celebrates the odd. So sexy to them is a whole different world.
Incidentally, there’s absolutely no place for Sleeping Beauty,...
