Not a soft-core porn flick with a mildly professional storyline, but a winning little indie that sheds some fascinating light onto an industry we rarely see.

Partly tragic, frequently funny and always touching, the film creates characters you care about even when they go astray.

The film was a humorless and unclear look at the sleaze industry...

[center]The Pornographer (2001) [left] Quickrating: "The Pornographer" is pretentious and boring. The sex scenes are gratuitous and add nothing to the narrative. The acting is mediocre at best. 3.75/10 [center] [/center] [/left] [/center]
