Repugnant in its salacious superficiality, Porn Theatre manages to be boring and vile beneath its transparent veil of artistic pretense. Go to Full Review

Mar 8, 2016 Set in a grimmy adult theatre, a teller, a projectionist and a customer begin a friendship. As part of the French extremism, the film was graphic with its depiction of sexual acts. It's quite hilarious at certain times but it feels more like a voyeuristic adventure into the seedy parts of France where no moral boundary is found. I hope this is not an accurate portrayal of real life but I did enjoy the simplicity in the film, although watching a real porn seems more satisfying than watching Glowing Eyes.

Et qui continue sans cesse... See more May 20, 2010 An interesting slice of life and representation of a community. It's a slow, meditative film that is worth the watch if you happen upon it. I can't say I may ever have a reason to need or want to watch it again though. See more Read all reviews
