[Videos] Nostalgia

Nostalgia

Nostalgia is marvelously high-concept porn, and as soon as I saw the premise, I was in love. Director Courtney Trouble promises to “queer the classics,” and that’s exactly what she does, with all-girl versions of iconic scenes from the Golden Age of Porn.

We open with Trouble and the lovely Pepper Sox in bed watching porn on a laptop. First up is a version of Behind the Green Door where our main character (no Marilyn Chambers, but then, who is?) gets kidnapped and taken to a sex theater by a couple of masked strap-on wearing ladies. (The audience includes sex educator and advocate Carol Queen in a cute cameo.) The scene has all the hot voyeuristic/exhibitionist/submissive elements of the original, and the classic film’s iconic slow-motion money-shots are replaced by shots of women squirting onto the willing victim’s body — a rather inspired twist.

The second scene is an homage to Deep Throat, with Madison Young in the role of the sexually-frustrated woman going to her for help having orgasms. Naturally, Madison has to undergo a series of highly invasive tests before Doctor Syd Blakovich figures out the problem — as you may recall, in the original, the woman’s clitoris was located in her throat, leading to a series of oral adventures. The same holds true here, with the help of some dildoes of exceptional length, and Madison overplays the part with adorable chirpiness until she finally gets the orgasmic fireworks she’s been dreaming about. Things move on from there, with a Hitachi magic wand and the handle of a golf club pressed into sensual service, before Madison ends up on her knees choking herself on two strap-on cocks at once. Hot, hot, hot.

Next we have an all-girl version of the dinner party scene from Babylon Pink, with the characters fantasizing about fucking one another, and while it’s enjoyable enough, it doesn’t have the verve of the earlier scenes. Fortunately, the finale is a return to form: we join the suicidal April Flores, who kills herself in a bathtub, only to find herself in a limbo strangely reminiscent of, yes, the setting of The Devil in Miss Jones. In a nicely meta twist, April is returned to Earth for lessons in depravity . . . including a visit to Pepper Sox and Courtney Trouble, the couple we’ve been watching make out between videos. Bathed in suitably Satanic red light and wielding some sweet metal toys, the characters move into full orgy mode . . . and skip the original Devil in Miss Jones’s horrifically downbeat ending. It’s a smart, funny, and — most importantly — hot trip down the hardcore side of Memory Lane.
