That's the soul of porno.
1:34:03
The most stimulating part.
1:34:05
I've always found it disquieting.
1:34:08
You don't just have
two interlocking organs.

1:34:12
You also have a face...
1:34:15
The last bastion of humanity.
1:34:19
Speaking of the actresses...
1:34:22
They're generally
high-school graduates.

1:34:25
But they've chosen porn
instead of becoming secretaries.

1:34:31
How do you choose them?
1:34:34
We have a casting
and I ask them how far they'll go.

1:34:38
Sodomy, golden showers, fist fucking...
1:34:51
Anyway, they get naked
and we do a screen test.

1:34:56
What kind of actresses do you like?
1:35:00
Beautiful girIs with bourgeois bearing.
1:35:03
Inaccessible to the working class,
with sIut authenticity.

1:35:09
That's about it really.
It's all pretty banal.

1:35:16
And yet...
1:35:18
...occasionally...
1:35:20
...one of them wilI exude something
on camera, almost unreal...

1:35:25
...violent or very poetic.
1:35:28
It's often involuntary, out of the blue.
1:35:32
Take Sandra Martin...
1:35:35
...in ''Little GirIs Hotel''.
1:35:37
When she comes at the end...
1:35:39
...I was almost in tears
when I shot the scene.

1:35:45
In my films...
1:35:48
...there's always something beautiful.
Even if you find the rest terribly ugly.

1:35:55
Why?
1:35:56
Because it's pure, raw sex.
1:35:59
And therefore profoundly human.
