Cafe Flesh Blu-ray Release Scheduled for July 8 from Mondo Macabro

Cafe Flesh (1982), directed by Jerry Stahl and originally written alongside Stephen Sayadian, arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Mondo Macabro. This release features a years-in-the-making 4K restoration sourced from 35mm materials, marking the film’s official worldwide Blu-ray debut.

Set five years after a nuclear apocalypse, the film explores a dystopian world divided between those unable to feel pleasure — the Sex Negatives, and the Sex Positives who retain their libidos. The narrative is framed around the exclusive venue called the Café Flesh, where Sex Positives perform for the mostly pleasure-deprived survivors.

This release includes both the theatrical version in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio and a full frame edition, offering viewers access to the film in two distinct presentations. Audio commentary by director and co-writer Stephen Sayadian adds depth, while new interviews with Sayadian, co-writer Jerry Stahl, and contributors Jacob Smith and Jessica Stoya provide extensive insights into the film's production and legacy.

Additional special features consist of theatrical trailers and on-set footage, enriching the contextual background of this cult classic. The Blu-ray is region-free, allowing worldwide access to this notable restoration from Mondo Macabro.
