A Vila

My friends spotted this at our local Hustler store and it's done incredibly well. The cinematography is top notch (especially for a porn movie). Oddly enough, the writing's not bad and the acting varies (Janine does well, but Jassie, for instance, doesn't do so well).

It's basically the plot of the film "Swimming Pool," but with hardcore sex. This may not be the best thing to buy if you're looking for porn for the reasons most people do, but this makes a strangely good movie to watch with friends. Even my female friends enjoy it (though they're film students).

It follows porn star Janine (apparently playing herself). It begins with an audition by a young woman new to the business that turns into a foursome (suprise!). Then a man we thought to be the director asks her to join him for some of his movies. She refuses, assuming it's amateur "gonzo" porn.

He insists that it's not like that. He wants her to direct, so he offers her his villa for a while so she can spend some time writing. Then she stumbles upon a threesome and meets a young woman (Hailey) who claims to be Janine's friends daughter he never spoke about. Janine allows her to stay as long as she doesn't bother her.

The sexual tension builds between the two (as I'm told they do in "Swimming Pool," although in this movie it gets paid off) and it remains for a surprisingly long before they finally have sex late in the movie. This movie is surprisingly good at subtlety.

Janine also meets a jogger with whom she becomes infatuated and most of the plot revolves around this.

The plot is rather simple, but surprisingly well done for a porn.
