About
You can stream A Dirty Story (1977) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.
A group of friends listen as one man tells them a story about a time when, in a small cafe, he discovered a peephole into the ladies' bathroom and became addicted to looking through it at female genitals. They ask him questions and come to conclusions about sex. This is a filmed, scripted version. Then, the actual person who this happened to relates the same story; this time, however, it is an unscripted documentary, in which the same things occur as in the scripted one.
A group of friends dissects a voyeur's confession, turning a scandalous tale of a cafe peephole into a debate on human desire. This scripted recreation blurs the line between a private obsession and a communal autopsy of sexual impulse.
