The design of the film, from the sterile banality of the hotel room porn sets to the girls’ costumes: all scorching pinks and throbbing purples. But Thyberg’s attention to detail goes beyond the casting. Kendra Spade, Dana DeArmond and Chris Cock also appear in minor roles. Porn agent Mark Spiegler appears as himself adult performer Evelyn Claire plays the uber-bitch rising star on the porn circuit who becomes Bella’s rival, and in one scene, co-star. There’s an authenticity to the film’s depiction of the adult film business which is partly, but not entirely, due to Thyberg’s decision to cast actual porn industry insiders in many of the supporting roles. And like Holiday, Pleasure might present a marketing challenge but could find a home with a daring arthouse distributor. There are parallels with Isabelle Eklof’s Holiday – both focus on young women negotiating the power structures of a male-dominated world, both feature extremely disturbing scenes of sexual violence, both represent an uncompromising female directorial vision. Pleasure screens at Sundance 2021, having been selected as a Cannes Label title in 2020 further festival screenings seem likely for this talking point title. Thyberg has also explored gender roles and sexual commodification with other shorts which have won prizes at festivals including Tribeca and Stockholm. This rigorously researched feature follows a short film set in the porn industry, also titled Pleasure, which screened at Cannes 2013, where it won the Canal + Award. It is through Bella’s watchful, rather calculating eyes that we view the porn industry It’s a world, the film suggests, in which a smart, ambitious young woman can quickly rise to prominence, but where success can come at considerable personal cost. This impressive, unflinching debut from Ninja Thyberg eschews the victim narrative which tends to shadow stories focussing on women in the porn industry, instead following Bella’s cool-headed navigation of this treacherous and frequently exploitative world. But the industry that Bella Cherry (Sofia Kappel) has chosen for herself is a cut-throat business, its pleasures are as artificial as Bella’s fake nails and false eyelashes. “Pleasure”, she purrs, trying out her throaty porn drawl. “Business or pleasure?” barks the imigration officer. 115 minsĪ teenager from a small town in Sweden arrives in Los Angeles with dreams of being the next big thing in adult movies. All agreed that the memory usage I'm seeing seems rather high and that there's nothing obviously wrong with my code.Dir: Ninja Thyberg. I showed this issue to several engineers in the AVFoundation labs during WWDC2012. Recording at one frame per second may seem odd, but the application I'm developing is a time lapse screen recorder - a typical recording session in the app will capture a full screen frame every 1 to 60 seconds (depending on configuration) and recording sessions can last for hours or even days. This is the behavior I expected from the h264 exporter as well. When another codec is used (such as AVVideoCodecJPEG or AVVideoCodecAppleProRes422) and less than 50 MB of ram is typically used, with no increase of allocations for each frame. This only occurs when using AVVideoCodecH264. When Exporting an h264 video from 32 bit ARGB frames using AVAssetWriter and AVAssetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptor, my application uses an alarming amount of memory (over 1GB), even though frames are being supplied at a low rate (1 frame per second or less) This is a vastly simplified version of ( ) created to demonstrate rdar://11706832 (also viewable on ( ))
