Jean-Daniel Cadinot

Born 1944-02-10 · Paris, France

Jean Daniel Cadinot (February 10, 1944 – April 23, 2008) was a French photographer, director and producer of gay pornographic films. Cadinot was born during World War II, in German-occupied Paris, in the Montmartre hill area of the Batignoles Quarter. His parents were tailors who custom fit clothes.Cadinot later remarked that while his parents had clothed men, he earned his reputation for undressing them. As a teenager, Cadinot hoped to become a painter and, due to parental opposition, ran away from home at the age of 17. In the early 1960s, he studied at École des Arts et Métiers and at the National School of Photography. He then began his professional career at Valois Studios, where he directed mainstream films for French-speaking audiences. He first pursued a career in photography, which took on a homosexual angle with his nude portrait of writer Yves Navarre and singer Patrick Juvet. His erotic photographs appeared in the first edition of Gai Pied. He began to sell nude photographs and finally moved to directing movies in 1978. By then, he had published 17 photo albums, with total sales of over 170,000 copies. Setting up his own production company, French Art, Cadinot made dozens of 16 mm films. Characteristic of Cadinot's films was an emphasis on plot, much more so than in typical porn films. His plots were often based originally on incidents from his own life, but he was known for adjusting the plot during filming to incorporate experiences of his actors. He insisted on realism in his films, especially in sex scenes, saying that the actors "do not portray things that are imposed on them by me, but things they like to do themselves".

It all starts in a flea market. A talisman, a precious thing, goes from guy to guy. It moves between them, getting swapped in exchange for sex. Beneficial influence or curse? That depends! For Morgan, it brings hot cute guys, real hunks. For Nikos and his boyfriend Erik, it brings the end of their love. The encounters are dangerous but sexy. Erik, attacked by three thieves, ends up being gang banged.

Paradisio Inferno poster

13 young men compete in seven situations. The petit bourgeois, the dark and shady stalker, the mason at work, the thug from the project, the zealous bottom and the salacious sailor, they are all going to intersect in various backgrounds: construction site, waiting room, behind a fence of suburban projects, or on the docks of a port. Who manipulates them? Is it the hand of God or is it the hand of the devil that causes those situations where anything can come up? These hunks are free to tip the balance towards Heaven or Hell. In any case their first choice is sex!

This excellent Cadinot release from 1996 centers around the activities of a photographic agency who gather together a crew of handsome male models for a Paris fashion show. The agency staff of course get to test the sexual ability of each prospective model along the way as every interview and photo shoot ends with rock hard cocks and spurting orgasms. There are a dozen hot sex scenes in Pressbook, plus a final orgy in the dressing room just before the fashion show. Highlights include a blond-haired model who takes an amazing selection of huge dildos and beads up his ass, an extremely well hung black guy, and a handsome hairstylist who works his sexual way through the entire agency to win his place in the show. 105 minutes of pure Cadinot class with fifteen international gorgeous guys, along with the usual superb Cadinot photography.

His older, bisexual brother is an enemy, his parents a threat; neighbours, stairs, cellars, car parks, a daily trap where the law of nature rules. Difficulties to assume his difference, rapes, dominations, and sometimes tenderness are a part of life.
