Excellent Fellini-esque Film, 2 November 1999
9/10

The Pornographers is an excellent movie that has something important to say about base human sex acts. The movie also deals with all different types of intra-familial relationships: husbands and wives, daughters and parents, widows and their former husbands reincarnated as household pets. The plot confronts a socio-political setting where "erotic films" as they are called are banned, but the great demand for them drives the pornographers who are otherwise destitute with families to support. The pornographers think they have nothing to lose, but realize just how much they do stand to lose. It should be noted that there is no nudity or adult content depicted. The movie is brilliantly filmed with beautiful symbols in the pictures representing the character's inner emotions. As events grow worse and worse the images grow darker and stranger. This is an excellent movie for the Fellini-esque audience.
