	Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermas Movie Review
		Its protagonist, Bob Flanagan, who died at the age of 52, suffered from cystic fibrosis, a mortal disease which debilitates the lungs by saturating them with thick coats of mucus, preventing him from normal breathing.
		Flanagan's idelogy crosses the realms of rebelliousness and becomes transcendental, similar to Terry Zwigoff's brilliant 1994 "Crumb", which also explored the dysfunction of an artist by painting not a sympathetic portrait, but a realistic one.
		Flanagan was a man of great intelligence, wit and humor, as well as adopting a sense of candidness scarcely seen in modern filmmaking.

		Flanagan's work was the subject of a disturbing exhibition at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in SoHo in the fall of 1994.

	Sick: The Life & Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist (1997)
		Flanagan has cystic fibrosis—a disease that causes the afflicted's lungs to repeatedly and relentlessly fill with fluid, causing the person to drown slowly.
		Bob's way of dealing with the disease (or maybe to distract himself from it), is to inflict pain on himself.
		You know from the start that Bob will die by the end of the film, but when it comes, and he is hooked up to an oxygen mask in the hospital, it is still shockingly hard to watch.

		Thus begins the uplifting and bewildering story of Bob Flanagan a truly amazing person, unfortunate to be born with cystic fibrosis "a children's disease marked by fibrosis of the pancreas and frequent respiratory infections." It's considered a children's disease because most of the babies born with it don't live to adulthood.
		Bob Flanagan was the oldest living person known to have had that disease.
		Bob had a comedy and poetry routine onstage as well as his self-mutilation thing going for him that he seemed to love to perform.

		Bob allows himself to be raised by his feet, pierced, shackled and naked, high above the museum goers heads.
		Artists who live outloud like Bob Flanagan and Robert Crumb, who trample over boundaries, convention, and mores in their pursuit of personal and creative expression are to be understood and admired.

		Flanagan’s death is recorded with a tenderness and dignity you wouldn’t expect after seeing him utterly destroy the mystique of physical pain.
		Eventually, she came around and made available many of her own private videos of Bob, including some astounding footage in which Bob painfully tries to persuade her that he is simply not up to taking her punishment anymore.

		Bob was being deferential, and not knowing how she would react to being involved in the film, said no, I could not be there at the meeting.

		Flanagan, who dies on camera after a long bout with cystic fibrosis--a genetic disease that floods the lungs--was obviously a brave man for enduring what the disease did to him.

		Flanagan is a poet and performance artist whose lifelong struggle against cystic fibrosis and whose taste for sado-masochism have led him into artworks that examine the fringes of sexual behavior.
		This collection of interviews with Flanagan and his wife along with some of his creative work is a great tribute to a man who had so much to overcome and did it in a way that most of society could not understand.
		Flanagan is a poet, writer, performance artist and musician, along with trying to create a 24/7 submissive and masochistic life scenario with Rose, all while trying to survive the ever increasing damage to his lungs and body from cystic fibrosis.

	dOc DVD Review: Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist (1997)
		You see, Bob Flanagan was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis as an infant in the 1950s; C.F. is an incurable disease that mercilessly fills the lungs with thick mucus, making breathing not only painful, but near impossible at times, and as a rule, life expectancy for someone with the disease is generally around 25.
		The fact that Flanagan lived to age 43, in and of itself, is nothing short of unbelievable.
		Bob Flanagan was not just a poet, musician, performance artist, writer—he was a devout masochist.

		Bob Flanagan was born with cystic fibrosis, a disease that fills the lungs with a lotta thick, sticky mucus which makes breathing difficult and painful.
		He has a lifelong relationship with Sheree Rose (also serving as associate producer and one of the cinematographers, which I imagine is because much of the film is home video that she shot).
		Bob Flanagan was a performance artist who did some of the most disgusting things to himself that you can imagine, but he wasn't a sick deviant.

		Watching someone drive a nail through his penis isn't usually my idea of a compelling art experience, but Bob Flanagan is something else.
		When Bob hammers that nail through his member while telling a joke or personal anecdote to his video camera, he's trying less to shock than to make us reconsider the topography of desire, and the relationship between bodies and egos.

		Born with cystic fibrosis, Flanagan dedicated his life to stretching, flogging, piercing, burning, and otherwise mutilating his unreliable body, and he invited the art world to watch.
		Thanks to Flanagan's desire to record his pain, Dick was allowed access to some of the artist's most personal moments with his dominatrix, manager, and partner, Sheree Rose.
		It would be difficult to make an uninteresting film about these two, but Dick's subjective stance on the project insures that they're never merely used for shock value; the on-camera record of Flanagan's driving a nail through the head of his penis is nothing compared to the grainy footage of the artist's slow, quiet death.

		But Flanagan is waiting for an investigation by the state Attorney General's office to determine who is to blame for the mistakes in the work and if anyone is liable for the cost of redoing the fouled up work.

	suspect thoughts: a journal of subversive writing, Bob Flanagan
		Bob Flanagan, born 1952, surfaced in LA as a poet, musician and sometime actor in the late 1970s, part of the fabled "Beyond Baroque" crowd that centered around the Venice performance space.
		He published several books of poetry but saw fame with his career as an installation artist and his presentation of himself as "supermasochist." Photographer Sheree Rose, Flanagan's partner, documented their entire relationship.
		Flanagan's struggles with cystic fibrosis are well known, and the excerpt we give here from The Book of Medicine is part of an unrealized typology of his brilliant insights into pain, suffering, and happiness.

		That's not only a theme of this movie, it's part of the lyrics that self-proclaimed (and with good reason)"super-masochist" Bob Flanagan cheerfully sings at a lecture/performance-he did a pretty witty re-working of the "Supercalafraga..."etc song from Mary Poppins.
		Yep, Bob Flanagan had a pretty good sense of humor.
		Interestingly enough, what I found harder to watch than the notorious Hammer of Love was seeing BF racked with pain, coughing his lungs out, and (I don't think I'm spoiling anything here as the movie opens with Bob good-naturedly writing his own obituary) finally losing his battle with CF.
