Flesh for Sale
Directed by Vicente Pérez Herrero1h 23m2005
The porn industry has grown from a product purchased on the sly, to be sold on newsstands in the daily press. "La piel vendida" aims to open a window to this film. His actors, actresses, directors, producers ... tell us their profession from the lights and shadows of a cinema by dint of being explicit in its imagery and themes, is hidden in their motivations: the viewer and their protagonists.
Our read: Flesh for Sale (2005) reads as a sombre, steady, grounded documentary entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Sombre, steady, measured documentary, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
