영화 정보

Public Sex, Private Lives is an intimate look at the professional and private lives of porn performers Lorelei Lee, Princess Donna, and Isis Love. Capturing moments of joy and struggle, this film follows the characters as they navigate their lives as artists, daughters, mothers, writers, and women who have made careers in the adult industry. Asked to defend their choices to their families, communities, and even the United States Government, these women share their unique motivations and shifting visions for the future. Most mainstream media depictions of porn stars tell tragic stories of addiction and desperation. Public Sex, Private Lives goes deeper, revealing not only the stigma that comes with being a sexually open woman in American society today, but also the pleasure and meaning these women get from their work in the adult industry. The film is about the balancing acts they must play as they navigate multiple identities that the world wants us to believe are at odds.

평가 및 리뷰

I'm admittedly biased because I worked on this film, but I know it is such an important story, one that has never been told in such a complicated, dynamic, and intimate way. No documentary yet centers the experience of the performers themselves, allowing them to tell their own stories on camera this way. It's also funny, sexy, surprising, and very charming. Do watch and let us know what you think! The film centers on three characters and their key relationships- one with her mother, one with her son, and one with her boyfriend. People interested in pornography, sex workers, LGBT issues, working in the porn industry, obscenity laws, art, strong women, and a whole host of other things will enjoy this film and hopefully learn something, too.

We got to see this film on the big screen and it really blew us away. The fact that a production company could get that up close and personal with porn stars was amazing. It really shed light onto the other side of the porn star we don't normally see. Its a very well done doc, and was interesting all the way through!

Such a beautiful film for so many reasons! First of all to get a look at the dynamic performers so open and willing to share themselves with us. On top of beautiful cinematography and moving sound track. Check it out!!!
