Polissons et Galipettes

A delectable and surprisingly explicit selection of French porn films from the silent era. The stories were evidently no better then than today, although there's some typically fine craftsmanship on view in terms of lighting, camerawork and the use of off-duty sets. Whether they involve nuns and bishops (notably popular), musketeers, gardeners or whomsoever, the set-ups all tend to end with pansexual orgies, one even involving an eventually very willing and able pet. And a final surreal cartoon is excruciatingly inventive.
