The Dark Side of Porn: The Real Animal Farm (2006, Molly Mathieson)

"Animal Farm" isn't just a George Orwell novel based on the Stalin era - it's also the unofficial 'street name' of a little bestiality film that garnered some 'buzz' in the 80s after it was smuggled into the UK. With the burgeoning availability of home video technology at the time, the distribution of the tape made it's rounds among curious shock-seekers and probably a few who dig on 'inter-species erotica'. "The Real Animal Farm" attempts to explore the fairly unknown origin of the film, but mostly sheds light on the life and times of it's main star, Bodil Joensen.

Without a doubt, Joensen was an interesting figure in how she ran her own farm and regularly fucked her animals (pigs, dogs, horses) out of a genuine love and sexual attraction for them. She was truly a tragic individual, especially in her final years leading up to her death after her animals were taken away and she turned to prostitution to support her alcoholism.

I've never seen "Animal Farm", or much of Bodil Joensen's animal fucking films, but I'll most certainly be putting out some feelers for a copy. Not out of a love of bestiality, but cuz I just fucking HAVE to see shit like this! As for this entry in the "Dark Side of Porn" series, it's an interesting look at a prominent 'icon' of bestiality.
