Views on filmmaking
In 1973, Bénazéraf stated he did not make message films, and that one of the reasons he made films was to "disturb the French" (French: "déranger les Français"), who were, he felt, not disturbed by anything, neither politically nor sexually. Bénazéraf also said that he attempted "to poeticise eroticism" (French: poétiser l'érotisme), whereas many at that time tended to accentuate pornography. He found pornographic films "horribly sad" (French: "horriblement triste") and called them "anti-eroticism" (French: "anti-érotisme"). According to Bénazéraf, eroticism was something "which creates a climate, which creates, which awakes, which sublimates desire" (French: "qui crée un climat, qui crée, qui suscite, qui sublimise le désir"), and the effect of pornography was the opposite.
