Sasha Grey breaks the fourth wall and your expectations in Dave Navarro's arthouse experiment.
2008 AVN Winner: Best High End All-Sex Release Sasha Grey, Strength and weakness... The duality of control and powerlessness is her condition. With despair and potent desire pulling Sasha apart, she administers her refuge to find she is the order amongst dissolute chaos. She finds control... This project is meant to blur the lines between adult entertainment and mainstream appeal. This is not a porn movie in the classical sense. This movie is meant to be viewed more as an expression of themes that occupy the setting of sexuality than it is a prototypical hardcore feature.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released during Grey's deliberate pivot toward mainstream credibility, including Steven Soderbergh casting her in 'The Girlfriend Experience' the following year.
Navarro's directorial approach borrowed heavily from European art-house aesthetics, particularly Gaspar Noé's structural provocations — whether successfully is debated.
