Berlin's Fuck for Forest is one of the world's most bizarre charities: based on the idea that sex can change the world, the NGO raises money for their environmental cause by selling home-made erotic films on the Internet.
A interesting curio that veers from saucy to serious in disorientating fashion.
Marczak would seem to have an open goal here but lacks any sort of rigour in his prosecution: these planet-savers look a lot like hippie narcissists, yet he refuses to take anyone to task.
It's all a littel embarrassing…until you realise it’s a film not about Fuck For Forest, but the untenable nature of charity.
There's an unintentional comedy in this curious, entertaining documentary.
It’s very amusing stuff, but Marczak’s film takes a turn for the more serious in the second half.
Michal Marczak's movie about a group of oddball environmental crusaders in Berlin recalls Werner Herzog without ever equalling him.
It’s unintentionally funny in places, but when the group heads for the Amazon and is confronted with the realities of practical activism, the film fails to interrogate their failings in any meaningful way.
A Berlin-based collective fundraise for environmental causes by making online porn. As much fun as it sounds.
