About A Place Beyond Shame
Seka discovers much to her horror that she has lost her sex drive to the point were she can no longer stand having a man even touching her. Seka seeks help from psychiatrist Michael, who uses hypnosis as a means for Seka to reconnect with her sexuality and resume satisfying her carnal desires.
Directed by Fred J. Lincoln, Sharon Mitchell, A Place Beyond Shame leans on a strong ensemble — Seka, Lori Blue, Don Fernando — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1980.
