A Life in Dirty Movies (2014) – Movie Trailer

Director: Wiktor Ericsson
Stars: Joseph W. Sarno, Peggy Steffans, Michael Bowen

Legendary sexploitation director Joe Sarno has been called “the Ingmar Bergman of 42nd Street” for his portrayal of lurid sex on film. But before his death in 2010, the 88-years-old director was trying to make his comeback. A Life in Dirty Movies follows Sarno and his wife Peggy in their twilight years on Sarno’s quest to be taken seriously as a filmmaker. Though ostensibly about porn, A Life in Dirty Movies is actually the story of a beautiful, decades-long relationship between two people whose careers society found morally dubious. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself tearing up between discussions of soft-core scenes and remembrances of long-forgotten erotic theaters.
