This wretched compilation of British page 3 models has them wandering around looking bored in various plush settings to no erotic effect. The 3d effect that is the selling point of the DVD is unconvincing and not helped by extraordinarily boring and repetitious camera angles. If you're unwise enough to buy it you'll be as bored as the models.

This movie is a genuine oddity: a Penthouse video with explicit sex. It also has a strange history: it was filmed in 1991 but not released until 1996/7 for reasons unknown.

It was made by Philip Mond who later went on to make the sumptuous _Zazel: The Scent of Love (1997 video)_(qv). Both titles look like movies from the 'Andrew Blake'(qv) catalog with knock out models, rich costumes and great make-up. The simple premise is explained in voice over: "We're runway models and we fantasize about sex a lot" so the viewer watches six wordless episodes of dream sex separated by girls striding up and down the runway.

The standout cast member is the stunning 'Diana Van Laar'(qv) who is both a Playboy Playmate (Dutch edition) and a Penthouse Pet (US edition). This is her one and only x-rated title.

If you like your erotica on the lavish side this is the movie for you.

I had no expectations at the start of this movie and reached the end impressed at its proficiency in the genre and the strong performances of its lead actors. Andrine Sæther is convincing as a woman whose life spirals drastically out of control as an initial mistake is compounded by a string of lies and deceptions. Bjørn Sundquist matches her as a tenacious and astute detective who gnaws away at the inconsistencies in her evidence. A tip of the hat also to writer/director Berit Nesheim for maintaining the narrative momentum and keeping us interested in the characters. Well worth your time.
