Secret Paris

I bought this on the strength of the fantastic looking european women, Zdenka & Regina Hall who star in this film.

However, what lets this film down is the way the film is put together. You are presented with a sequence of unrelated images which appear on screen for between 2 and 4 seconds. This continues all the way through the film. This quickly bugged me and I found myself fast-forwarding through most of the film. There is no dialogue, so no plot to speak of, just a series of these 'dreamlike' sequences.

The women are sexy but the constant jump cutting spoiled the experience for me. Also, several clips are in black and white to add to the 'art' content - something I hate as I have a colour TV!

The DVD I bought also features a couple of vignettes, but these are done in similar style, so I didn't enjoy them either.

Overall, less satisfying than Hidden Obsessions starring Janine which has a storyline.

This, like most of Andrew Blake, is pure fantasy. It has a potent sense of sexuality about it, but is not meat and potatoes porn. There is one boy/girl segment, but it's mostly lesbian erotica. The rapid dissolves of slow motion sequences can be an acquired taste, but I guess I've acquired it. Blake's movies feature the most naturally beautiful women in adult films today. Some engage in pretty hardcore scenarios, but some merely flash the camera. His work consists of some of the only adult films worth watching as films currently being made-- though they are pretty plotless. To some, this sense of unrelieved erotic tension will seem dull and pretentious. But if you're like me, it will be intoxicating and hypnotic. Even the light B&D scenes are worshipful of the women, and slowly draw you in rather than hitting you over the head. Andrew Blake's vision is pure fantasy, and not meant as a substitute for sex.
