Reviews

To fully appreciate the majesty of a Michael Ninn feature, one must abandon the usual porn video vernacular. One does not "jerk-off" or "spank the monkey" or refer to his work as "fuck flicks." One masturbates while enjoying the visual stimulus of an adult feature. There are not "hot babes with big tits getting the shit fucked out of them, ending with a gooey facial." NO, NO, NO! There is a multitude of ethereal beauties with enhanced womanhood basking in the glow of passion until all participants share in the wealth of climactic liquids.

Sure, it sounds like a load of crap. But crafting a video into a literal work of art in an industry that cranks out hundreds of features a month is a rarity. Decadence, Ninn's latest offering, continues his trademark of visual stimulation on top of scorching sex. Put quite simply: If Leonardo da Vinci had made porn, it would have looked something like this.

What jumps out at you, besides the cast of lovely ladies and capable studs, is a production regime that reads like a dream. There is actual creative camerawork going on here! Pre-nom the videography, which dispels the myth of video as a limited medium. Absent is the status quo Hi-8 stuck up a snatch or a poorly lit shot of a girl's face with an off-camera voice whispering, "Say, 'fuck me hard, mister!'"

Set amid a sensual fortress of cascading waterfalls and lush green landscapes, Ashlyn Gere and Victoria Paris begins a girl/girl fondle-fest in the depths of a sudsy jacuzzi. Tongues traveling the curves and crevasses of the other's feminine form while guided by an alluring and pre-nom-worthy original soundtrack (by the Ninn Brothers), the two temptresses follow desire down a trail that leads to a submissive Mark Davis. Bound and kneeling before his captors, he is instructed to do the action of the ladies' choosing before his ties are released. A hard-core, erotic feast is served!

When street-punks Santino Lee and Jeremy Steele accost Anna Malle on a winding marble staircase, the visual is not the obvious tag-team routine of two leather-clad hoodlums drilling some innocent woman in the ass for the contents of her purse. Try two untamed stallions breaking the beauty of a thoroughbred, bringing out the wild beast within her. Sure, the elements of the crucial penetration shot, the close-up of Malle's rolling eyes and flying fluids are all present. But there is class with the ass.

A pre-nom for direction is a must. From the balcony tryst of Vicka and Hank Armstrong as maid and chauffeur, to the orgy with Ruby, Julie Rage and Kim Kataine, Ninn takes the action out of porn's standard venues and places them within his Garden of Eden. Here in the land of Ninn, explicit eroticism garbed in high-style glamour is the protocol.
