My Father Is Coming

Newly Added • 1h 21m

Directed by Monika Treut • 1991 • Germany
Starring Annie Sprinkle, Alfred Edel, Shelley Kästner

Vicky (Shelley Kästner) is a German expat working as a waitress in the East Village while also dreaming of making it as an actor. She’ll have to give the performance of a lifetime when her stodgy father (Alfred Edel) hastily makes plans to visit her. As Vicky rushes to hide the aspects of her lifestyle that she doesn’t think he’ll approve of—namely, her gay roommate (David Bronstein) and lesbian lover (Mary Lou Grailau)—only to become involved with a handsome stranger with a mysterious past (Michael Massee) in the process, Pops winds up tangled up with “post-porn modernist” Annie Sprinkle. A supremely kinky (yet surprisingly wholesome) sex comedy, MY FATHER IS COMING is also a loving tribute to the East Village.
