9 to 5 Days in Porn (2008)

This is a documentary of the porn industry in L. A.   We follow the lives of roughly ten people in the business from talent, to managers, to directors to photographers to a former star turned doctor.  Each telling about why they got into the business, and what keeps them there.

Can you actually classify this as a porno film?   I'm going to say no.  Yes, most scenes happen when the cameras were rolling on actual porn sets, but much of it is shot from over the shoulder of the crew. 

I have to admit, I'm no stranger to this sub-genre {the documentary of porn has become a popular one in the last few years} and this is one of the best I've come across yet.  With discussions on why the limits have been expanded as to what people are expecting, and showing a crisscross of production elements, you end up feeling like you're watching an episode of the Passionate Eye.  This is more then just a taste of the world of porn from a safe distance, it's a new layer of independent film at it's best.
Hopefully one that gives a new understanding to something that people are sometimes afraid of.
