The petite mort or the lost pleasure

Abstract

As foolish as it may seem, the filmmaker would forever defend his film project. He knew that a few friends applauded his cause, but most considered it unnecessary, unrealistic or pretentious. What value could such a thing have? Still, almost no one could resist his charm. The Faun, as they used to call him, was a master at seducing with his lip service. That's why, although he sometimes fed people up with his explanations about artistic porn, and the need for ethical porn, and porn as the aesthetics of transgression, there would always be some unwary spirit who, in the midst of drunkenness, or intoxicated by enthusiasm and curiosity, would ask or accept to become part of that "liberating project".
