Eureka! Classics | A Documentary on the Art, Life, and Times of Tom of Finland

”The Picasso of gay male erotica” —-New York Daily News

”Well made, informative, entertaining… and hot!“ —-San Francisco Examiner

Daddy and the Muscle Academy by Ilppo Pohjola is the only film ever made about Tom of Finland, one of the major icons of the gay world.

His provocative erotic drawings have had an enormous influence on gay identity, attitude and self-understanding. Tom’s ultimate leather men are known and seen everywhere. They are symbols of gay pride and friendship.

This ground-breaking work combines interviews with Tom (prior to his death in 1992) and his leather men acolytes, with hundreds of his original drawings and steamy fantasy scenes inspired by his work.
