User Reviews

One of many near-classic romantic Adult features from Nicholas Steele and his talented crew led by Christopher Saint Booth, this tale of a French erotic writer played by Randy Spears and the budding writer (beautiful young Jenna Haze) who idolizes him has a timeless quality and attention to detail that no longer figure in porn production.

Sheer beauty of the visuals, buttressed by the varied and evocative Saint score, can captivate the willing viewer. Sure, this sort of erotic cinema is no longer in favor, but for me it stands the test of time while gonzo crap of any vintage is gone with the wind in a hurry.

Supporting cast gives talented performers, some lesser-known, a chance to shine including Brit import Layla Jade, Nici Sterling as wife to the bad-guy Ian Daniels (a bastion of censorship, about as bad as you can get in the World of Porn) and Spears' wife in flashback, Alex Foxe.

Flowery writing reaches its apotheosis with the line: "Let your body be the paper and I will brand it with my love".

I can't really claim to be a fan of adult film actress Nici Sterling. I've only seen a handful of her films, but I certainly enjoyed all of her performances, and her attitude in an interview I read once certainly appealed to me. So I was really looking forward to this video, one of her last. I wanted to see how she made her exit. I wanted to see that genuine acting talent combined with sensuality one last time.

I was screwed. Despite the fact that her name is prominently advertised (albeit misspelled) on the box cover, she features in only one scene, and has no lines. I hadn't been so disappointed since I watched her in "Starbangers 8", where the soundtrack covers up whatever sounds she might make as eighteen men take her in almost every possible way.

The film is, instead, a vehicle for up-and-coming starlet Jenna Haze, who, while enthusiastic and attractive, doesn't hold a candle to Ms. Sterling in her prime. Oh well. She plays a young woman who is spellbound by the erotic poetry of some guy called (if memory serves) De Salle (Evan Stone), who celebrates the beauty of the female orgasm. She is inspired to write her own poetry, and eventually ends up becoming De Salle's squeeze. Ms. Sterling's scene is with Ian Daniels, who plays a puritanical oppressor of De Salle's work. Say, what's a puritanical oppressor doing in France? This is France, right? Oh well. I was screwed. What'cha gonna do?
