Today, Pierre watched a 1990 film by a French director on YouTube. The film's title is "Sex and Perestroika." At the beginning of the film, he was casting Russian women, offering them roles in an erotic film. Like you, the women were assisted by a translator at the casting. Have you seen this film? Since it's French, is that possible? If so, did it perhaps influence your work in Russia?

ahahaha
no in fact it's the opposite ...

I knew Alain Siritzky ( the producer ) from the time I was in fashion business between 1987 and 1989 ( I stopped at 100 % in 1992 ) and we have had various meeting in his office on Champs Elysées and also I went to lunch with him when he was searching girls for Emmanuel series. I can even tell you a secret, they never went anywhere out of France to film, it's François Abou the cameraman from Dorcel who went to India and various pmalce of the world to film indoor and outdoor place for many weeks. Then all was made with blue screen in Paris studio ...
And it was partially same for "Sex et perestroïka" who has been made in Baltic republic and not in Russia.
I also meet various time Francis Leroy the director who did the french porn film " leather dreams" !!!

Alain Siritzky was a cool guy, I never have had any problem with him.

Pierre, that was a very interesting story. But there were still shots in Moscow that didn't look like blue screen footage. The interview was delivered with the girls and a female translator. It reminded me of your castings in Russia. The questions were similar, like, "Do you know what kind of films I make, have you seen films like these before?" The particularly funny moment was at 27:40. When he asked the girl if she swallowed cum when someone came in her mouth. She punched him in the face for that. Ahahaha. Since his film came out before you started traveling, I thought you got the idea from him but reworked the casting for porn.

In this film, a young Evgenia Kryukova, who later became a well-known Russian film and television actress, also appeared.
