“A movie like ‘Pleasure’ jerks the skeevy, compulsive porn world out of the closet in a way that few movies have,” Gleiberman wrote. Variety’s chief film critic Owen Gleiberman praised “Pleasure,” calling it an “intentionally stark” and “disturbingly authentic” look at what the porn industry has become. The extended version debuted at the Sundance Film Festival to positive reviews. 13.īefore turning it into a feature-length movie, Thyberg directed a short film called “Pleasure,” which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2013. It has yet to announce a theatrical release date, though Neon plans to re-launch the film with a special Los Angeles premiere screening at AFI Fest on Nov. In the press release announcing the acquisition, Neon noted Thyberg uses nudity in order to “expose rather than titillate.” “Pleasure” takes a look at the Los Angeles porn industry through the lens of newcomer Bella Cherry (portrayed by Sofia Kappel), who moves from a small town in Sweden to pursue her dreams of stardom. Neon adds, “We are thrilled to be working with Ninja on this incredible achievement and look forward to releasing it, in the director’s vision, as intended.” “I’m happy and relieved that my debut and life’s work is in the hands of Neon who dare to launch the film with my original vision, raw and uncut, to the American audience,” director Ninja Thyberg said in a statement.
