Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

This explicit collision of flesh and philosophising, left field even for the French, translates more literally as 'Pussy with Two Heads', which is also the title of the largely unseen film running in the Paris porn cinema that is the movie's locale. Nolot plays the slightly camp, sleazy regular who observes, and occasionally partakes in, the varied offscreen action - gay, bisexual or straight - happening alongside the skinflick. Almost anthropological in its relentless gaze, this is an elegiac, bitter-sweet study of ritualised desire and a world on the cusp of disappearance.
