Synopsis:

Chicken Ranch (1983)
Directors Nick Broomfield and Sandi Sissel filmed the routine in a Nevada brothel to make this undistinguished documentary on the business and personal life of the prostitutes and their madam. The subjects are well-aware that they are being photographed and as a consequence, many of the scenes of prostitute-selection by various customers, an argument between one prostitute and the owner of the brothel, and some pejorative takes of Japanese men strike an unnatural and biased note.

Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam (1995)
A documentary crew from the BBC arrives in L.A. intent on interviewing Heidi Fleiss, a year after her arrest for running a brothel but before her trial. Several months elapse before the interview, so the crew searches for anyone who'll talk about the young woman. Two people have a lot to say to the camera: a retired madam named Alex for whom Fleiss once worked and Fleiss's one-time boyfriend, Ivan Nagy, who introduced her to Alex. Alex and Nagy don't like each other, so the crew shuttles between them with 'she said' and 'he said.' When they finally interview Fleiss, they spend their time reciting what Alex and Nagy have had to say and asking her reaction.

Fetishes (1996)
A wide-open mind would be a real boon towards enjoying this adult-oriented, way off-beat documentary look into the shadowy world of professional dominatrices and the masochistic slaves who pay dearly to be abused, ridiculed and tortured. British documentary filmmaker Nick Broomfield directed and narrates; he spent two months in a Manhattan house of domination interviewing both the mistress' and their diverse clientele. Though relatively few in the US actually participate in S&M, it is an extremely lucrative business. Highlights include scenes where a retired bank manager allows himself to be photographed being led around naked on all fours with a dog collar on his neck, a Wall Street Stock Broker with a thing for rubber and an interview with Pandora, the meanest mistress in the company. Pandora sleeps with Spike, an ill-tempered giant iguana. While Pandora complains that her scaly companion has recently frightened away any prospective lovers, Spike punctuates that by biting the cameraman Christopher Lanzenberg.
