Introduction In the landscape of European adult cinema, few names command as much reverence as Marc Dorcel. Known as the "Hugh Hefner of France," Dorcel built an empire predicated on a specific aesthetic: high production values, glamorous settings, and a distinct focus on narrative cohesion—elements that were often secondary in the adult films of the "Golden Age" in the 1970s. The 1992 film Filles de passes serves as a quintessential example of the "Dorcel Style" during the early 1990s, a transitional period for the industry moving from film to video. This paper examines Filles de passes through the lenses of aesthetic production, narrative structure, and the "glamour" sub-genre it helped define.
