What is a pornographic image? What is the right attitude for society to adopt toward sex? Is pornography an acceptable form of expression - and if so, can distinctions be drawn between different forms of pornography? This documentary raises all of these questions, seeking to provide the answers from the perspective of pro-sex feminism, which asserts that pornography must be wrested from patriarchal control, and that in the hands of women and sexual minorities, it can become a tool of liberation. Director Virginie Despentes (Baise-moi) takes a wide ranging look at the movement and maps the evolution of pro-sex, or "post-porn", with roughly two dozen interviews with the likes of B. Ruby Rich, Lydia Lunch, Annie Sprinkle, Catherine Breillat, Del La Grace Volcano, Maria Beatty, Coralie Trinh Thi, Carol Queen, Lynnee Breedlove, Norma Jean Almodovar, and other members of the post-porn movement, Mutantes is part of a very queer feminist revolution. Exploring in comprehensive fashion the various sexual niches of punk porn, queer porn, S&M, and transgender, the film goes a long way toward demystifying a movement that has been several decades in the making.

Best documentary about feminist porn!
Anyone and everyone who is interested in film, feminism, gender, sexuality, and/or pornography should watch this documentary. Brilliantly done. It begins with interviews of well-known early feminist pornographers, mostly in the US, and steadily marches toward the contemporary feminist/genderqueer porn/erotica scene in Europe. The historical approach helps contextualize the narrative, aesthetic, and cinematic challenges that cutting edge feminist/genderqueer pornographers face. For those of us in the US, getting an "insider view" into the work of those in Europe is invaluable.This is a great film for those who teach sexuality studies, queer studies, feminist theory, and/or film studies. It will require a "sexually explicit material" warning, but no book or article on this topic will provide as mileage in the classroom.

REVOLTING
In the interest of full disclosure, I am a long-standing fan of the filmmaker, Catherine Breillat. This documentary explores the credible and logical conclusion to the feminist revolution while exposing the gender-bias, misogyny, and genophobia that grip even a modern and enlightened society.

It's okay to be sexual, feminists
This doc blows apart the theory that you are either feminist OR into porn/prostitution/etc. There are at least 2 different kinds of feminism, and this film shows you the most progressive, open-minded, reality-based of the lot. The interviews with the likes of Annie Sprinkles and her ilk are absolutely empowering.

There are no mutants!
This was like some Robot Chicken movie! About 15mins into the scene jumps and incoherent story I gave up and turned it off. Guess I should have read the description. Not even worthy of latenight B movie status!
