“Fluctuations” is a unique adult film that emerged in 1969 from New York City. It blends elements of roughie loops and experimental cinema, showcasing the unconventional sexual behaviors of nameless hipsters. The soundtrack features erotic readings, a libertine couple’s conversation, and plenty of heavy breathing, while scenes range from hair-whipping to group sex and cross-dressing.
Accompanied by karate students practicing and a half-dressed woman joining in, the film’s content is diverse and edgy. Despite a short stint in theaters, “Fluctuations” remained obscure until it was rediscovered by Something Weird Video for a home video release. The film’s revival shed light on the underground adult cinema of the late ’60s, offering a glimpse into a unique and forgotten era of filmmaking.
