about the film

The result of seven years’ unprecedented access into the previously forbidden worlds of extreme erotic experimentation, body modification, transsexualism and hardcore masochism, and shot with the full consent of its subjects, No Body Is Perfect offers an intimate, unflinching and highly explicit odyssey into the furthest extremes of underground 21st century sexuality. This film came about after five years of research and two years of shooting in France, Belgium, Holland, UK, USA, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Mali, Costa Rica and Japan. Each location, individual and act was filmed without staging, without effects. Everything appears as witnessed by the director during the course of his journey.

* This film is not suitable for audiences under the age of 18.
