Description

Jamie Gillis seemed in over one hundred films, and as such used to be a primary performer in pornography’s “Golden Age.” Gillis may be known for inventing the “Gonzo” genre of pornography, played out in the film Boogie Nights by Burt Reynolds’ character.

Pure Filth appears as transcripts from the films Jamie produced all through these early years of radical and highly personal pornography. Completed just before his death in February 2010, Gillis contributed an introduction to every transcript to shed light on his ideas and plans, in addition to anecdotal details and personal statement. The book has more to do with an artist’s understanding of sex than the mere views of a flesh peddler. The careful language and brutal intelligence that Jamie brought to interviews are what separates the conversations from any other work that might have more academic or prurient pretensions.

Extreme novelist Peter Sotos, perhaps better known and appreciated in France and the UK than his home country, used to be a good friend of Jamie Gillis, and Sotos’ odd perspective makes this volume conceivable.
