The Pornographer
Jean-Pierre Léaud stars as Jacques Laurent, a former pornographic filmmaker who returns to the industry in this hard-hitting drama from director Bertrand Bonello. Having enjoyed a 20 year hiatus from the industry since the 1980s, Laurent finds that it has changed enormously since his halcyon days. Struggling to recapture his former passion-filled cinematic feasts of erotica, the reluctant director is forced to film hardcore scenes that eschew tender human emotions, and instead concentrate on raw, violent, and explicit sex. Meanwhile, he tries to patch up his relationship with estranged son Joseph (Jérémie Renier), who stopped speaking to his father after learning the nature of his business, but is now supportive of him as he tries to recapture the magic. A thoughtful film that tackles a number of pertinent issues, THE PORNOGRAPHER is a wonderful character study that tugs viewers into its world and doesn't let go until the final credits have rolled.

Cold and Distant Film
If you are expecting a film full of wild sex and gratuitous nudity then think again. Whilst there is one fairly graphic scene (which resulted in the 'money ... read more »

Not as explicit as the trailer makes out but rather a thoughtful, well-wrought drama.
Ignore all the reviews from people who moan that 'There's no sex in this film. It's rubbish' and listen to someone who didn't just get it ... read more »

Confused
The most amusing aspect of this strange film is that 'd'accord' and 'ça va' are constantly translated in the subtitles as 'ok&... read more »

A real good film
A real hardcore film, I m joking. Well two or three scenes are really uncensored. Ideal for non family adult person. Licking the girls thing was so amazing. OMG... read more »
