Psychopathia Sexualis is a 2006 American drama film written and directed by Bret Wood. The film's vignettes are based on the sexual perversity study of Richard von Krafft-Ebing, who is portrayed in the film by Ted Manson.
Psychopathia Sexualis was shot in Atlanta, Georgia.[2]
When submitted to the MPAA, the film was unofficially given an NC-17 rating. In order to obtain an R rating, the filmmakers had to remove a shot of urination in someone's mouth. Rather than re-cut the scene, the filmmakers removed the entire (two-minute) sequence, which also includes male frontal nudity.
The scene in question was not removed in the version available on Netflix. It does, however, retain its R rating.
The film was given an extremely limited release on June 8, 2006[3], only opening in three North American theaters. It grossed $1,612 in its opening weekend, averaging $537 per theater[4], and, by the end of its four-week run, made $4,012.[1]
The film received mixed to negative reviews; based on 13 critics, it currently holds a 23% rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.[5] On Metacritic, the film has an assigned 40/100 rating based on 10 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[6]
