But it's art, not porn...

I'm really looking forward to seeing this. Personally I don't think there is a difference in principle between "art" and "porn" if we take porn as an erotic art - even if it's not always "artfully" done in practice. What I think is a real step forward is that unlike Baise Moi and Intimacy etc the sex seems to be being portrayed within the context of a reasonably realistic relationship - up till now - with the honourable exception perhaps of "Sex and Lucia" (a wonderful, life enhancing film), it seem only to be OK to be explicit if sex is portrayed in the context of fucked up damaged lives - as if to avoid any possibility that the portrayal of sex will be seen as arousing. That way it's just more prudery from a different angle.

I think it should be either you are watching porn or you are watching a film. Films can have sex scenes, sure, but it doesn't need to be real to get the messege across in my opinion.
Can you imagine tipping up at your missus's parents house with an "artsy" french film for us all to watch after dinner ?
Imagine the uncomfortable atmosphere when the graphic blowjob scene comes on ??
