Description

The first of three “body horror” films in this series, PLEASURE has no supernatural or futuristic events - just the relentless commodification of sex that is the porn industry. To the protocols of the well-worn A STAR IS BORN narrative, Thyberg adds Linne´a/Bella Cherry, a Swedish heroine with unparalleled ambition. The “industry” that we see through her eyes is just that: a site of labor that, like all other forms of work, features a spectrum of conditions ranging from dignified to traumatically exploitative.
