Jean-François Davy's cinema-verite portrait of the French porno actress, Claudine Beccarie, can boast of appearances at the New York and Los Angeles film festivals. Its intentions, indeed, seem serious enough, but its course of action is basically, brainlessly, to encourage this tough-looking and glib-talking actress to sound off freely on herself and her profession. She has no more inhibitions about what she says in front of a camera than what she shows, but perhaps she should have. The documentary distance gives the gratuitous sex scenes fractionally more educational value than the average blue movie (an off-screen voice implores, "Turn more this way, so the camera can see... lower your leg..."). But from all that is said and shown, it is difficult to see what this outspoken, smothering actress is bragging about. (1975) — Duncan Shepherd
