This isn't a commercial blog, but I wanted to highlight the upcoming autobiography by Gérard Kikoine called Kiko-Book. He's financing it through the crowd funding site Ulule. I'm not sure when it will be published, but it looks like it's going to be a fascinating insider's view of the French porn industry during the late 1970s, with lots of previously unpublished photos. I can't wait!

Gérard Kikoine was responsible for directing some of the great classics of the French Golden Age of Porn, including Enquêtes (1979), Adorable Lola (1981), Bourgeoise et... pute (1982) and Vacances à Ibiza (1982), to name a few. He also worked as editor on landmark films such as Le sexe qui parle (1975), directed by Claude Mulot (aka  Frédéric Lansac), as well as Mes nuits avec... Alice, Pénélope, Arnold, Maud et Richard (1976) and Les hôtesses du sexe (1977), both directed by Michel Barny (aka Didier Philippe-Gérard).

Of course Marilyn Jess (born 1959) and Alban Seray (born 1945) both worked with Kikoine on numerous movies during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Marilyn eventually went on to marry his friend, director Michel Barny.

The promotional trailer was shot in May 2014. The photos below were all taken on the set by Christian Valor. Marilyn may be 54 here, but I still think she looks great!
