A lot of porn documentaries take a strong anti or pro stance on their subject matter. This one thankfully, for the most part, sidesteps that and the director immerses himself in the subject, even going so far as acting as a cameraman for a fuck flick. It's a pretty decent little doc going from the more legit to the ultra-sleazy questionable sides of the business and the people that represent those two extremes. It remains interesting throughout even if it was made during an era when porn wasn't all that interesting to watch and most of the actors and actresses in these things, besides Jeana Fine, are kinda generic and forgettable. Of course this was filmed back in the 90's and in the years since then the massive amounts of money being generated by adult films, that's talked about, has dwindled down quite a bit thanks to the internet and free tube sites.
My favorite bit in this thing is the opening where some cool clips from a 70's adult film titled CARNAL ENCOUNTERS OF THE BAREST KIND play and that looks like something I'll be seeking out.
