•THE GIRL NEXT DOOR (1999),
 |
| Director Christine Fugate and Stacy Valentine of Indican Pictures' The Girl Next Door - 2000 |
What does it take to be a porn star? And what does being a porn star do to the psyche? THE GIRL NEXT DOOR shows you (more than you may ever want to know) about the, ahem, glamourous business of the skin trade.
The subject of this humble documentary is Stacy Valentine (nee Stacy Baker), an Oklahoma housewife driven to amateur, soft-core photos by her white-trash husband. As many men soon discover, be careful what you wish for: Stacy loves it so much she flies to Mexico for a Hustler photo-shoot. Then it's on to Hollywood for a career in adult films.
Starring in such films as CAFE FLESH #2 (1992), NEW WAVE HOOKERS #5 (1995), and MY HORNY VALENTINE (1997) just can't be good for a person, (and, my, how that turns out to be true!) Stacy gets round after round of cosmetic surgery, explicitly shown to gruesome effect. Stacy goes to a hypno-therapist to help
her feel better about herself. Stacy goes in and out of a relationship with a co-star. Stacy screws a rich Frenchman for the money, then rolls around in hundred dollar bills. All in the pursuit of what appears to be her main goal in life: recognition as a great porn actress.
We see Stacy's heartbreak when she doesn't win Performer of the Year at the (cheesy) Adult Video News Awards. We see her triumph when she wins Best American New Starlet at Cannes. She even calls her mom to tell her the great news.
Speaking openly about the psychological and physical hazards of her career, such as the impact of repeated cosmetic surgery, the threat of sexually transmitted diseases and her inability to sustain a loving, stable relationship, Valentine reveals her own ordinariness and the shallowness of the fantasies about women that drive the industry. Her gregarious personality, desires and all-American upbringing are conveyed with pathos, irony and humour by filmmaker Christine Fugate, who never attempts to justify Valentine's choices by framing them within pro-sex feminist theories of empowerment and subversion.
Fugate's portrait of Stacy, shot over 2 years, is like watching a multi-car wreck that gets longer and longer. She's obviously headed downhill in an eternal spiral, and despite her promise to go into a new career as a makeup artist, it's painfully obvious that it's never going to happen. The Girl Next Door is a rare cautionary tale that every aspiring actress (adult or no) should see. Prod Cos: Cafe Sisters Productions / Berns Brothers Productions. Prods: Eren McGinnis, Adam Berns, Christine Fugate. Dir: Christine Fugate. Mus: Denis M. Hannigan. Ed: Kate Amend, Christine Fugate. Cast: Stacy Valentine. 82 mins. NFVLS

***************************************************************
A Confederate spy is about to be hanged when suddenly the rope breaks and he makes a spirited attempt to escape...
This stunning episode was not actually an official production of The Twilight Zone, rather a French short film which had gained critical acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival which would be purchased by the producers of The Twilight Zone, insuring the series' fifth season came in under budget. The original slightly longer French version of the film would go on to win an Academy Award for best short film.
A landmark achievement that prodded the medium forward even as it announced the zenith of the Surrealist movement.
