Arriving about two years after a series of revelations brought to public predatory behavior that’s been at the core of the film industry since its inception, Kire Paputts’ Toronto-based indie The Last Porno Show offers an unusual insight into when method acting becomes creepy, unprofessional, and unacceptable. Paputts is fully aware of what he’s doing in a film that is unafraid itself to peddle in the sleaze its budding cinema exhibitor dabbles in, gleefully earning its adults-only rating in its opening shot. It’s a magnum opus of I Am Cuba-esque magnitude where a camera travels from the porn screen, over the heads of the community that make up the cinema to its patron who died doing what he loved, manning the cash register behind a concession stand.
