Les Films des Maisons Closes: 1925-45 (2011)

A compilation of silent era ‘brothel’ films from France that prove even in the mid 1920's sex and cinema were linked. The films are short because film reels were short, but some even manage to squeeze in some flimsy plot and occasional inter-titles. The music that accompanies the grainy black and white footage gives everything an overly comical feel.
It’s a fascinating insight into the seedier side of silent cinema for film history fans, but of little interest to anyone else.
