Verbatim Box Synopsis
"All sexual taboos on the screen were broken and people think what can be the next step." With this statement Polanski introduces CONFESSIONS OF A BLUE STAR. This film, directed by his pupil Andrzej Kostenko, is a highly visual documentation on the making of porno films.
Amongst others, the film portrays the fate of Claudia Fielers, a beautiful young student and well known porn star. The fact that her naked body was seen by millions of people and every intimate action of hers projected to large screens the world over, caused her such anguish and despair that during the shooting of CONFESSIONS OF A BLUE MOVIE STAR she committed suicide. We see her talk to us and minutes later she is dead. The film also shows an hysterical actress, suddenly realizing how low she has fallen, attacking the director.
It is a shocking motion picture portrait of the people who make their living from these films both in front and behind the camera. What influences lively young women to perform carnal acts for public exploitation? What are these girls really like? For the inside story on the making of porno movies, don't miss CONFESSIONS OF A BLUE MOVIE STAR.
