Pornography in Denmark: A New Approach

About This Movie

So, this film 'Pornography in Denmark: A New Approach' from 1970 is really something else. It captures the vibe of the first sex trade show in Copenhagen, which is just a fascinating slice of history. The pacing is a bit uneven, almost like it’s finding its rhythm as it goes along. You get a raw and unfiltered look at the attitudes towards sexuality back then, a stark contrast to today’s lens. There’s this palpable tension throughout the documentary, a mix of curiosity and discomfort that keeps you engaged. The practical effects, if you can even call them that in a documentary, are more about the real-life settings and people involved, not some glossy production polish. It's distinctive for its candidness in a time when such topics were still quite taboo.

This film is quite scarce and doesn’t pop up much in collector circles. It’s often overshadowed by flashier titles from the era, but those who look for it appreciate its candid approach to a unique subject matter. Formats are limited, primarily on older VHS and some lesser-known DVD releases, making it a bit of a treasure hunt for dedicated collectors.
