- TriviaThe photo shoots for Madonna's book "Sex" were also filmed on Super 8 by fashion photographer Fabian Baron. Many of the photos in the book were film frames taken from this footage. Madonna and Baron compiled an hour of the footage for this film. It premiered during the release party for the book. Madonna also had 100 copies of the film made to give to her closest friends. She and Baron also used some of the footage for the video for her song "Erotica". Reportedly, Warner Brothers considered releasing this film along with the book but the idea was scrapped. At some point in the mid-1990s this film leaked out and has been sold as a bootleg.

# 01 : Madonna *
Well, Madie was my 1st crush and I remember clearly how it happened. It was on September 1987 and my grandparents and me watched on french TV the « who's that girl » show while my parents were on the road. So it's total luck and this unexpected evening really punched me : Madie was totally cute with her short blond hairs and her songs were just hits after hits ! This concert was like an avalanche and was the start of great moments : my first LP, my first audio-tapes, my first star book, my first music videos ! « You can dance » then « Like a prayer » as well as her previous records were just part of my mind, my blood. Then, with « I'm breathless », things deteriorated : the songs were really average and the exhibitionist mood started to peak ! The « immaculate collection » confirmed this tendency and « Erotica » just killed my passion. For me, Madie is a singer (or an actress) and thus watching her getting nude and having sex even in the name of art is just inappropriate and totally not erotic ! From this moment, i have never bought another of her album and i follow her career from far.
This video is surprisingly registered on IMDb while it's a bootleg never commercially released. For those who have the eponymous book, it's a sort of making-of, behind the stage and even incomplete as all the really hard stuff isn't in this video : here we have the beach, cycling, dancing sequences. Thus, it's quite awful with sloppy black and white for the visual and really personal fantasies for the content : the soundtrack isn't even enjoyable as it's a compilation of old french tunes ! Maybe the only interest of this video compared to the book is that by definition, it's moving pictures so you have a little more than just a static frame !
