Too much "écoute chéri" here
18 November 2001
There is a tradition in French film, which very much comes from "The new Wave", of letting the actors saying deadly destiny-filled things with an absolute zero expression in their faces. Every third line usually starts with the words "Écoute chéri". Personally I can't cope with that acting tradition. Unfortunately that tradition is still strong, as one can see in "Le Pornographe".

The plot is about an aging porno director, who once quitted his art, because of his son finding out and his son being disgusted. That could of course be a good script out of this, but it isn't. Not at all. It's hard to find that the people really care about each other, so why should you? Where is two X-rated scenes here, but why? Is it maybe a trick of getting people to the movie houses? They won't be much excited.
