LaBruce’s debut feature film provides a template for many of the themes in LaBruce's later movies. Explicit sex scenes between LaBruce's character and von Brucker's are interwoven with a radical political message.
No Skin Off My Ass played at film festivals around the world and quickly became a cult film. Famously, Kurt Cobain declared it his favourite film. The film's soundtrack includes songs by several punk bands such as Frightwig and Beefeater.
Screenplay
