Pornography: The Musical

Documentaries on this theme tend to waiver between something like critique and something like detached objectivity. The problem with the former is usually that the documentarians are as caught up in exploitative ends as the pornographers; the problem with the latter is that the "detachment" is usually an excuse for mediocre journalism, if it is not simply revelling in its naughtiness. All this applies in this case, yet the film still manages to convey the underlying pathos of the profession.
