Blow-up dolls and other cheap tricks

Prize for the most eye-catching/tacky press kit goes to Fortissimo Films' "Pleasure Factory," which comes in the form of a day-glo pink box that suggests a blow-up sex doll might be inside.

Directed by Thai helmer Ekachai Uekrotham, the Un Certain Regard film is a romp around Singapore's red light district.

Unfortunately, the box's contents are deflatingly prosaic. But for anyone feeling turned on by movie, there is a handy condom. (Patrick Frater)
