What it’s about. This is a documentary on the 70's French porn industry. There are generally two kinds of porn documentaries--those that actually take an insightful look behind the scenes, and those that are just an excuse to show a lot of nudity and XXX porn footage. This is actually somewhere in between. It's generously seasoned with porn footage, but there are also a lot of (fully-clothed) interviews, and they even talk to the owners of porn theaters, some typical porn customers (including some pre-adolescent boys who are walking by the the theater--I wonder what their parents thought of that?), as well as a guy who makes promotional billboards for porn movies although he claims never to have seen one!
Who’s in it. Exhibition stars Benoît Archenoul as Self, Frédérique Barral as Self, Claudine Beccarie as Self and Françoise Beccarie as Self, among others.
How it landed. With an audience score of 5.0/10, Exhibition has proved divisive with audiences.
