Although well produced, it's an attack on the "new" face of the porn business by the old guard that positions themselves in a false light.

I come from a mindset of an ultra liberal. I have no desire (no pun intended) to ban porn. But at the same time the notion of "moral" pornographers is not a reality to me. That's where the viewpoint of this documentary comes from.

Like the mainstream movie business, it's a business many MANY times over. I don't see any creativity in it. Maybe the makers think they are but we'll agree to disagree. There has been big productions (I've never seen) and am not immune to sampling the free content. But I would not put my disposable income towards it.

I have no doubt the evils that this production alleges against "new" porn. None at all. But to frame the old way of porn as having morals and just normal workin' folk is a lie. Porn has always been a sleazy business that uses and abuses women. Takes advantage of their weaknesses and addictions. Promotes ugly stereotypes.

I read a bit about the filmmaker, Ovidie, a French ex-performer and self-professed feminist. She views porn as full of empowered women. We will agree to disagree. Probably some, but not a majority. A small minority.

Do women in porn wield great power over men via their sexuality? Or women in daily life with their sexuality? Yes. I don't really think that's a good thing on its own. If the roles were flipped---and they're not---I'd likely be corrupted by such and have uneven views. Same with any kind of power, I'd imagine. And am not immune to the sexuality of women, although I don't judge the whole person on that.

Do I have an issue with women practicing their sexuality? No.

As an examination of "new" porn, it was quite thorough, informative and interesting. Felt longer than its running time, though (another pun not intended). But avoiding the bad history of its narrators and industry was obvious and disappointing.

Judging by the many poor reviews here I suspect many don't want to have their porn judged, but this is a very well done documentary. A woman who once worked in porn, examines just what has happened in the porn industry as free tubes sites have taken over. She explores it from top to bottom, and we meet not only performers and producers, but people who have investigated the secretive people who actually run the industry. I know I learned a lot from it and was fascinated by it. If you're expecting to see porn in this, well it's not included. What I did see was a kind of shocking and sickening tale of what the world has become.

This documentary, and I hesitate to call it that, purports to reveal the secrets of the international digital porn industry - but in fact reveals very little about anything. The interviewer, ostensibly herself a former European porn star, remains largely mute during the interviews, so it is not surprising that she doesn't get much out of her subjects. The thread that runs through the film (along with titillating snippets of hardcore porn) is that a mysterious multinational porn cabal is up to something fishy, perhaps laundering money. Duh. I am tempted to give this a single star but am upping it to two stars solely because of the wonderful scene, early on in the film, where Pierre Woodman, one of the inventors of misogynist porn in which women are physically abused to the point of tears, complains so long and loud about the online "tube" industry stealing his content and virtually putting him out of business unless he shoots and edits his movies all by himself using a crappy camcorder and a laptop - that he crashes the car he is driving on the middle of the interview. THAT is worth watching. And from the expressionless interviewer, not a single word.
