Like Moths To A Flame is the second part of the Dungeons of Europe trilogy from veteran filmmaker Roger Earl and is, even more than the first, an intense examination of men who willingly enter into an S & M relationship with a partner for the sheer pleasure of the pain which that partner can provide. These submissives gladly give themselves to a variety of tortures, restraints, and yes, love. There is not doubt that all these men possess a strong bond of affection which connects a slave to master, and hungry, tongue-down-the-throat kisses are just as much a part of their ritual as the various other inflictions of the master's will. Director Earl doesn't profess to understand or explain the phenomenon, he simply describes it visually for the viewer and does so with some remarkable camera work and lighting effects. Despite the title, these aren't dark, dingy dungeons, but brightly-lit chambers where the various masters practice their medieval-like torture arts. Cast: Christian Breesen, David Shultz, Dave Gregory, Ken Dearn, Mr. Sebastian, Ben Kent, Ted De Burin, Dick Johnson
