9to5: Days in Porn

Directed by Jens Hoffmann1h 53m2008

9to5 - Days in Porn focuses on the people behind a controversial and multi-billion dollar industry "The Adult Entertainment industry". It depicts their stories, each one different, unadorned and authentic, without glorification or prejudice. It delivers deep insight into their personal lives - from glamorous to grotesque - strange, fascinating, offensive, absurd and sometimes funny moments all at once.

Our read: 9to5: Days in Porn (2008) reads as a neutral, kinetic, grounded documentary entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
