You can stream The Pornographer (2018) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

A disillusioned porn director tries to save a young actress out of the claws of a cynical and destructive industry.

The neon-soaked, hollowed-out corridors of the adult film industry offer a surprisingly tender look at human connection amidst professional decay. A weary director attempts to salvage a single soul from a cycle of exploitation before the cynicism consumes them both.
