Slightly sleazy
But slightly sleazy in a good way.
Those Italians. Nothing gets understated.
Adored: The Diary of a Porn Star
One of the reviews I read called it "eurotrash". Yup!
It is pretty good if you take a certain sidelong glance at the movie, a monument to an apparently healthy ego for its star and director Marco Filiberti.
He seems to rile some folks up. It is difficult to find a good review of this film as it all boils down to being a critique of him.
The truth is that I enjoyed it. It is sleazy but in a good way. Lots of Filiberti's skin which, if you are gay or not, is in pretty fine fettle.
If you do not lean towards the homo, the film is fairly safe as unfortunately there are no "good" sex scenes in it.
And that is OK. I am sure they did not need an X rating to further complicate the situation.
I am going to give it a 3 out of Netflix5 and say that I am glad to have seen it again. A guilty pleasure. Undiminished by the quality of the acting or scenario.
