That Man: Peter Berlin DVD - dir. Jim Tushinski

Imagine yourself in mid-seventies San Francisco and you'll be able to conjure up images of the legendary Peter Berlin. Sex and style oozed from this man in skintight white pants, leather accoutrements and smooth, shoulder-length blond hair.

With his trademark Dutchboy haircut, Tom of Finland physique, and oh-so-tight trousers, Peter Berlin was the poster boy for the hedonistic and sexually-liberated 1970s. Jim Tushinski's fascinating, sexy, and ultimately touching portrait, That Man: Peter Berlin, traces Berlins story over the past 40 years, from his birth in wartime Germany to his current life in San Francisco, and shows the human being behind the icon.

Photographed by Robert Mapplethorpe and Andy Warhol, drawn by Tom of Finland, and lusted after by countless fans, Berlin was more than just a piece of eye candy. A talented artist, photographer, and film-maker, he starred in two underground gay erotic classics from the early 1970s, Nights in Black Leather and That Boy, which he also directed. But he was his own biggest creation, a carefully constructed, unattainable icon awash in eroticism.

His many fans and friends, such as director John Waters, author Armistead Maupin, adult film legend Jack Wrangler, film-maker Wakefield Poole, photographers Rick Castro and Dan Nicoletta, and artist Robert W. Richards, offer their reflections on Berlin and the time period.
