Quote:
"As for the film itself [Bubbles Galore], outraged politicians, none of whom seem to have seen Bubbles, claim it has lots of explicit sex. Well, what would you expect in a film about the sex industry? And as for casting porn superstar Nina Hartley in the title role of an aging porn star-turned-filmmaker, isn't typecasting an honourable tradition in moviemaking? Besides, just because a film has a surfeit of explicit sex doesn't make it pornographic. Bubbles Galore was shown at the Montreal and Vancouver film festivals when it was released in 1996, and is being screened commercially in France, Belgium and Switzerland. So far, no protests from the broader public."
