Sex and Buttered Popcorn looks at exploitation entertainment as something sold to an audience, making advertising and presentation part of the subject. Watch the relationship between a promotional promise and the actual image offered as evidence. A suggestive trailer can tell more about the commercial strategy than about a film's content. Keeping those levels distinct lets the documentary's pleasures coexist with a critical reading of how desire was marketed.
