Not Porn

The blurb: A video essay exploring just how cleanly can “art” cinema and “porn” cinema be separated when intent and effect are considered.

This video offers a collection of mainstream sex scenes and director comments and offers an insightful commentary on the ongoing artificial divide between “art” and “pornography” in cinema. The video is from Mubi, a filmmaking site, but I don’t know the full name of the director.

I have to congratulate the filmmaker for getting so many explicit shots into one video. It lead to the vid being removed from Youtube but it’s still up on Vimeo.

Length: 7:06
Director: NGuyeh
Year:2019
