Fluffer: Behind the scenes. - Review - movie review
Advocate, The, July 18, 2000
SURROUNDED BY VINTAGE porn images, outrageous character actor Taylor Negron is warning newcomer Michael Cunio about the dangers of the biz. It's a scene from The Fluffer, a Boogie Nights--like take on the gay adult-film industry that follows a young man assigned to keep his favorite porn star at attention. When the cameras stop rolling, Negron has the crew doubled over with his outrageous imitations of former costars like Lucille Ball.
Codirectors Richard Glatzer of Grief and Wash West of the award-winning Naked Highway both warn that their film isn't all light and, um, fluffy. "Though there's a lot of humor coming from character observation," West insists, "it's mainly a dark tale of obsession."
The cast features Baywatch vet Scott Gurney and the legendary Debbie Harry plus cameos by many top adult-film stars. "Love is hard," as the film's slogan suggests, and the filmmakers expect Fluffer won't go limp in the face of stiff competition at the box office. After all, the fresh-faced Cunio says, "even my mother knew what a fluffer is."
