Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
John B. Root was a legendary figure in French adult cinema who deliberately blurred lines between pornography and 'legitimate' film. Ally was his attempt at critical crossover.
The film premiered at Cannes' Marché du Film, causing walkouts and debate about whether extreme sexual content could be 'feminist' if directed by and starring women. Dany Verissimo-Petit later became a mainstream actress.
