Auditions

About This Movie

Auditions (1978) is this fascinatingly awkward pseudo-documentary that dives into the casting process for a porn film. Directed by Harry Hurwitz, the film has this unique blend of comedy and real-life candidness. The pacing feels almost like a slow burn, with the tension of auditions and the absurdity of the scenarios creating an off-kilter atmosphere that’s hard to pin down. It’s not a porn film in the traditional sense, which makes its inclusion of actual porn stars feel both genuine and ironic. The performances can be quite unpolished and raw, adding to that documentary feel. It’s a curious snapshot of the industry, revealing the often unseen side of adult film production with a playful twist.

Not your typical porn documentary.Candid performances add to the authenticity.Interesting commentary on adult film industry.
