  Yikes! Where do i start with this one? Ok, so the brief was to 'pay homage to classic porn and deconstruct the concepts of obscenity, voyeurism, the porn industry' .....blah blah blah. The first film has a man (with a Turnip up his arse) rub is manhood up against a JCB that is hanging from a crane. Another has a man masturbating in the middle of a desert (although he fails). Another is just an old recording of an 80's porn film, another is of a man shagging a sex doll and a girl doing something to a teddy bear that you really should do to a teddy bear....and you get the picture. So, to answer the question you really want to ask...no, so pull up your trousers and let the dog back in the room, this is not a porn film! As many other reviewers have said, Larry Clark's segment is quite interesting but I wouldn't say it was worth watching for, it is for want of a better phrase, a load of wank.

  Words fail me. I knew what I was getting into before renting this - an artistic look at porn in our society from the point of view in short film by various film makers. Not really something I would generally be drawn to, but I thought I would give it a go to see the Larry Clark one.… More
  Words fail me. I knew what I was getting into before renting this - an artistic look at porn in our society from the point of view in short film by various film makers. Not really something I would generally be drawn to, but I thought I would give it a go to see the Larry Clark one. Of all, his would be the best film - he interviews some young guys looking to get into the industry and some of the girls. That is actually quite informative and brings some much needed humanity to this collection. Much of it is pretty gross and sterile. None of it, (in my opinion) is titilating - not what I was looking for anyhow, but I can figure some people would rent it thinking that. I'm sure there is some big statements being made here, but it's over my head. If you like Larry Clark, may be worth a look just to check out his short film, but otherwise couldn't really recommend this.

  An extraordinarily tedious collection of X-rated short art flicks.

  Where sex meets art. And then they both meet boredom. I know the films are made as art, and don't necessarily have to have a narrative (even though, one of the better shorts, Clark's Impaled has a very loose narrative, probably making it my favourite), and much it's… More
  Where sex meets art. And then they both meet boredom. I know the films are made as art, and don't necessarily have to have a narrative (even though, one of the better shorts, Clark's Impaled has a very loose narrative, probably making it my favourite), and much it's much like watching the Cremaster films (speaking of Cremaster, Barney's film was pretty good in this too) only with more dudes whacking off. The one I rented this one for, Noe's, We Fuck Alone, was decent if only for it's audacity with it's strobe effect and constantly moving camera à la Irreversible, but when it comes right down to it, it's just more whacking off. My suggestion is, if you watch it, view it in sections just to keep hardcore boredom at bay.
