Porno Chic


Has Porn Entered Mainstream Cinema for Good?
"Trash maestro John Waters, director of such cult classics as Pink Flamingos and Multiple Maniacs, once told me that he believed one of the last taboos of cinema would be broken when A-list Hollywood stars performed actual sex acts on screen. Only then would we know that hard-core pornography, once the preserve of the underground and the illegal, had finally been totally absorbed by the mainstream. Judging by several of the movies I saw at Cannes this year, that day is not so far away."
