As a gamer who grew up during the wild times of the 80s and 90s, I can’t help but feel nostalgic while watching Diva Futura. It’s like stepping into a time machine filled with neon lights, big hair, and adult entertainment that was as much a part of my childhood as Pac-Man and Nintendo.
Looking back at a period that was less complex and more carefree, when the adult entertainment industry of Diva Futura, known as the Italian adult entertainment empire named Diva Futura, adult entertainment empire that was known for its adult entertainment empire, which was a name-as an adult entertainment empire in Italy’s to the Italian adult entertainment empire of the same name, this comic-tragic-tragic-tragic-tragic in are colorfula (the beautiful and the charl Bandecki, the main character, aka (Great-turned-Lidomate’s, who, are based on-ly, but not to, who worked for the adult entertainment industry was——– as real——-these’real–a, the actress of course of the characters were a, the original source of the filmmakers, the comic– and the characters are all in—, the sexual revolutionary, like- the world-, loud, loud.

Additionally, many of the characters portrayed in this piece are reminiscent of actual individuals from that era. For instance, Lidija Kordic, known as La Cicciolina or Ilona Staller, a former adult film star and politician, and Moana Pozzi (Denise Capezza), her fellow adult film star, both make appearances. While only those familiar with the period can discern how much of this movie aligns with reality (as it is based on Debora Attanasio’s memoir), enthusiasts of vintage pornography may not be overly concerned with its factual accuracy. However, the main theme it conveys about idealism clashing with the harsh realities of capitalism is undeniably apparent, even if it occasionally comes across as somewhat strident
The book by Attanasio is titled “Don’t Tell Mom I’m a Secretary“, subtitled “Recollections of an Ordinary Girl amidst the King of Toughness’s Court“. Essentially, this is what the story is about. Initially, we encounter Debora, portrayed by Barbara Ronchi with cheerful friendliness, who is a proactive assistant. She finds herself immersed in the bustling life of her dynamic boss, Riccardo Schicchi (played by Pietro Castellitto). Upon taking up an administrative role with Riccardo, one of Debora’s initial duties involves feeding numerous cats in the back office – a space that eventually transforms into housing Cicciolina’s snake and later many rabbits. This suggests that Italians were forward-thinking when it came to allowing emotional support animals at workplaces
It’s clear that Riccardo, much like his circus-like business, is portrayed as an amiable leader by Steigerwalt in the script. He’s depicted as a caring producer who takes pride in the women he’s helped enter the adult entertainment industry. While he has a special connection with Éva Henger (Tesa Litvan), his long-time collaborator and eventual wife, the story and Castellitto present him as an innocent charmer who firmly believes that explicit sexual content can somehow free the human spirit
The ideology behind establishing Diva Futura appears to be driven by a similar sentiment as Staller’s political ambition, which stemmed from a strong belief in the transformative power of “love”. However, those familiar with the 1980s and 1990s might recall that Debora’s marriage to Jeff Koons, often alluded to but not extensively explored or named for legal reasons, seemed to challenge the validity of this uncomplicated belief system. In the narrative, most characters, apart from Debora, eventually become disenchanted and suffer as a result. The criticism towards pornography in this context seems more centered on the idea that corrupt individuals spoiled things, rather than offering a profound analysis that someone like philosopher and anti-porn author Andrea Dworkin might have provided
The film’s most significant flaw lies in its chaotic editing pattern, which jumps erratically through different time periods. These jumps are occasionally signaled by date stamps, changes in hairstyles, and aging makeup, but there seems to be no clear reasoning behind them other than maintaining a lighter mood, with brighter moments from the 1970s and ’80s contrasting the gloom of later scenes. Despite this, the period-appropriate production design and costuming consistently delight, from the choice of hair accessories to the style of clothing
