Michel Houellebecq says he was "taken aback" by the erotic film in which he starred. The French writer signed a contract with a Dutch director, Stefan Ruitenbeek, for a pornographic film.
The writer has been trying for months to ban the images shot at the end of 2022 by the Dutch filmmaker, claiming to have been trapped when he wanted not to be recognizable. French justice, considering itself incompetent, had rejected the writer in February of his request to banned the film.
