United by the common goals of teamwork and dedication to a shared purpose, they confront generations of fear head on. Is peace through sports really possible, or is it hopelessly naive to think that a handful of 12-year-old soccer players can begin to change their world?

Poster for Pickelporno

1992 · ★ 4.8 (4)

As a driving bass sample plays, a surveillance camera makes low-flying journeys across the bodies of the actors, yielding images at once familiar and distancing, a strategy in keeping with Rist's desire "to propose images of sexuality rather than to analyze the pros and the cons of pornography."

But in no time at all, Lisa's appeal is gone when Max realizes that she hasn't come alone: she has her sweet baby Maya with her - and that's the last straw for Max.
