Today's director for Female Filmmakers is a wild one! She is a Swedish director and writer who got her start in porn and is making a name for herself by infusing porn with her narrative feature film. She is Ninja Thyberg!
Ninja Thyberg knows about sex onscreen from firsthand experience. The Swedish-born artist dabbled in being a pornstar before she transitioned into making her own films.
She got her start in 2010 when she starred in the short film Wet. She then acted in a film called Bimbo Bambino in 2018, but she put her acting career to rest after that. She decided that her heart was in directing and writing sexually charged films that pushed boundaries and buttons. Her work certainly makes audiences unbutton their pants!
She directed several shorts like Hot Chicks, Girls Boys, and Catwalk before she decided to take the plunge into directing her very first feature film. What's that film? You're looking at it right now: Pleasure. Ninja co-wrote and directed 2021's Pleasure which tells the story of a fictional young woman named Bella Cherry who aspires to be a pornstar. She is played by the hot blonde babe Sofia Kappel who we get to watch climb the ladder in the porn world.
Sofia's character will do whatever it takes - and she takes a lot. She also takes a lot of dick which we take great pleasure in watching her do. She simulates a blowjob and double penetration, and she shaves her bush on camera. She will do anything to be the star she dreams of being.
She even takes part in some BDSM scenes that feature her being tied up and suspended in ropes. She also wears a hot harness that shows off her nipples and she partakes in nipple piercings and titty twisters with a tweezer. Tweezer titty twisters - say that 5 times fast! It's very sexy and it also serves to show that Sofia wants to be a famous pornstar SO badly that she will step outside of her own comfort zone to give people what they want. And what do they want? BDSM!
We see her desire to go the extra mile early in the film. She goes to an audition in the film where her co-star Zelda Morrison strips totally nude. This inspires Sofia to do the same, showing us early in the movie that she has to be willing to bare it all to be a star in this industry.
Zelda isn't the only sexy co-star that Sofia has in the film. Porn maven Charlotte Cross also stars and goes full frontal in the dressing room as she and Sofia prepare for a shoot. We get to see Charlotte on set and off, nude basically the entire time. Would we want her any other way?
This film made headlines for mixing porn with a real narrative and strong character development. Ninja proved that she can really do that and I have a feeling that she's going to outdo herself sometime soon. If Pleasure is any indication, she will make her next film absolutely climactic!
