No Filter: These Actors Were Really Getting Intimate On Film!

Guardami (1999)

Guardami made its debut at the 56th Venice International Film Festival. It focuses on the real life of Italian adult film actress Moana Pozzi, who is played by Elisabetta Cavallotti. The very independent woman engages in a lesbian relationship and has a daughter she’s raising on her own.

The Italian-language film was directed by Davide Ferrario and drew controversy when it showed real, unsimulated oral acts. The film was released in 1999 and may have been a little bit ahead of its time for both critics and audiences.
