Synopsis
Pleasure (2021) is Ninja Thyberg's debut drama you can watch online on iFILM. Nineteen-year-old Linnéa swaps her small Swedish town for Los Angeles, chasing one goal: to become the industry's next big adult star.
A new stage name, a rented room, an endless run of auditions. Linnéa learns fast that this business runs on its own rules, where reading a set and negotiating a fee matter more than ambition alone. Sofia Kappel carries nearly every frame, playing a young woman who keeps deciding, scene by scene, how much of herself she will trade for a place at the top. Thyberg cast working performers from the real adult industry, and that choice gives the film a raw, documentary texture.
A co-production of Sweden, France and the Netherlands, the film premiered at Sundance and drew heat precisely because it refuses to judge or excuse Linnéa, watching her choices with a cool, unblinking eye. Tough viewing, and honest about the price of wanting more. Stream Pleasure (2021) online on iFILM.
