Four hours of 'unfiltered reality'? Honey, this isn't cinema — it's cardio.
In director/performer Manuel Ferrara's "Raw" series, the French ladies' man presents intimate encounters with gorgeous, uninhibited, very lust-driven girls - scenes that cut out porn-fantasy trappings and simply document the perfect, unfiltered reality of Monsieur Ferrara and his dates behind closed doors! In four marathon scenes the double-disc "Raw 9" is a first person look at the lifestyle every horny man wishes was his.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Raw' series arrived during porn's 'gonzo' boom, where handheld aesthetics and pseudo-documentary framing became marketing shorthand for 'real' — despite being as staged as any Hollywood production.
Ferrara directing himself created an inescapable power dynamic: he controlled the edit, the camera, and the narrative of these 'dates,' raising questions about whose 'reality' was actually being documented.
