Lascivious Liaisons

It’s a BDSM movie — for couples! It seems like that should be a strange hybrid, but the combination of slow-motion effects, occasional soft-focus shots, classy lingerie, and high-definition video with (light) BDSM actually works beautifully. The cool austere loveliness of Jana Cova helps, and the elements of bondage don’t seem forced or silly or overly hardcore — they come across more as the sort of thing longtime lovers would try to spice things up, trying out some cuffs, a little rope, a leash and collar, maybe a paddle. It all looks very natural. The boy-girl scenes are all good, and the girl-girl scenes are mostly wonderful, too, though one (with Jana Cova, and Holly Morgan as her whipping girl) ends a bit abruptly; I guess after you’ve masturbated with the end of a bullwhip, there’s nowhere left to go. If that’s my only complaint, though, you know it’s a good movie. There are lots of other high points — for instance, what’s better than one girl tied up? Two girls tied together! Jana binds up Charlie Laine and Karlie Montana back-to-back and teases them orally with a strap-on, and it’s a thing of beauty to behold (the editing in that scene is really good too, if you’re the type to notice that kind of thing).

The classical(ish) music track was occasionally a bit tedious, and it got me daydreaming about amusing ways to score a porn film (a group anal sex scene to the tune of “Ride of the Valkyries”? A BDSM scene where the dom enters to “The Imperial March,” Darth Vader’s theme from the John Williams score of Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope?), but it mostly faded into the background. The adorable Kinzie Kenner has a nice scene with Jean Val Jean, and the only time I wished for a vocal track was when she started laughing during their foreplay; it would have been nice to hear that. My favorite scene has Lela Starr as a naughty maid, shirking her work and putting her feet up on a coffee table (which happens to be made of a naked girl on all fours with a pane of glass on her back; oddly, that girl never joined in, and I’m beginning to wonder if she was actually carved out of wood or something). Lela gets caught by the man of the house and properly chastised, though she doesn’t seem to mind a bit. There’s none of the deadly seriousness you sometimes find in BDSM films, and everyone seems to be having a great time. Try it. You’ll probably have a great time too.
