Closer than Comfort

A Pseudo documentary about 80's pornstars in the middle of a fictional adaptation of the play Carmen and the people the work with. Lead by superstar Sharon Mitchell playing herself as she tries to juggle with her relationship with an AD, Tigr ,played by real life pornstar of the same name. How toxic it is, and how things are not working, especially Mitchell's career as a pornstar and Tigr as her Director. Almost all the other characters in the film are just talking heads about their work in the industry or their commentary about the central relationship.Interestingly, the film was made in basis of Mitchell's real life relationship with Tigr and the idea that Mitchell would only have sex with her if it would be shown in video. Another interesting thing is that it was somewhat made when the heydays of porn is long gone - though never really referenced in anyway in the film.Its just such a meta text. Also, one of the pornstar, Jon Martin, is a Stella Adler educated actor which was shocking since its actually Mitchell who came off the most natural of the group.Much more interesting as a factoid AND had seen this themes done better in other films to be honest.

Test of Character

I've been aware of this for quite a while (perhaps since its launch?) and that it had a "landmark" reputation.As such, I'm glad I've now seen it, although I doubt I'll be rewatching it, or recommending it to others. At base, it's an interesting perspective on the industry and these characters in particular, but I suspect most people's reactions will be dominated by the feelings towards the latter. Personally, I was initially drawn to Tigr and somewhat daunted by Mitch, but found my reactions heading in correspondingly opposite directions as the film progressed. The "producer" however remained an unremitting nasty sleazebag throughout, and thus a difficult presence.... noting that he was a porn director "in real life" I did wonder whether this was somewhat realistic, or whether he was playing up this angle for the camera, as most of the rest of the crews came across as collaborative and supportive.Worth a look, but not really recommended.
