PINK PALACE: PORNOMELANCHOLIA

Pink Palace the award winning weekly queer film club, presents the multi award winning film PORNOMELANCHOLIA. Lalo is a sex influencer and performer. On social networks he directs his own life, posting photos of his naked body and homemade porn videos to his thousands of followers. Yet there is a disconnect with his private life – out of character, he seems to exist in a state of permanent melancholy. Frank in its depiction of the porn industry, yet contemplative in its examination of the relationship between sexuality, work, and the characters we build to show (or hide from) the world, Argentine filmmaker Manuel Abramovich’s PORNOMELANCHOLIA is an intelligent and uncompromising work of docufiction which features a soulful performance from real-life porn actor Lalo Santos. "this is a well-made example, with the specificity of Lalo’s world making it especially interesting. Did you know the semen isn’t always real? It won’t be for everyone, but Pornomelancholia certainly puts the stud in character study. 4/5 stars The Guardian With thanks to the lovely team at Peccadillo Pictures.
