Godard’s experience with this film is a reminder there can be no end to the global porn industry under capitalism.
This is something the religious right has always failed to get. Porn is not just a product of liberalism, it arises because there are massive profits to be made. Plus the technical means for mass production & dissemination only get cheaper over time.
Capitalism and liberalism are mutually reinforcing. The harm done by porn to sexual relations and the family does not appear on either ideology’s radar, because for both the ‘free’, atomised individual is the basic human unit.
