The release of a new Andrew Blake joint is the closest porn
comes to the premier of a blockbuster summer movie - eagerly
awaited by many and complete with fans that are ravenous and
have very high expectations of a good time. Thankfully, the
latest Studio A offering does not disappoint, nor lower the
bar set by Blake's previous releases. It's a great movie.
From the mouthwatering broads to the flawless production
values, Blake really knows how to shoot porn.
In case you're unfamiliar with Andrew Blake's "thing," he
shoots hypnotic, top-of-the-high-end fetish films that blur
the line between softcore and hardcore, as well as the
distinction between mainstream and porn. Blake favors slow
motion shots of sometimes disinterested looking (but
impossibly sexy) actresses, most often engaged in lesbonic
action while wearing sumptuous eroto-wear the likes of which
Victoria Secret can only dream of. Each angle and image is
lovingly crafted to the point that it seems choreographed,
from sweeping angles of perfect thighs and butts to the
choice of shooting some content with grainy film stock, this
is a perfectionist filmmaker's porn vision.
As much as this has a structure, the action follows a sex
doll (hence the title) played by newcomer Jacequline. The
doll witnesses (or imagines) fantastic, beautiful exploits of
a bevy of girls into some very extreme fetishes. The action
will satisfy porn fans with a wide variety of prurient
interests, from some devastating foot-fetish scenes to a
cigarette-smoking segment, and even a mildly harrowing
girl/girl/girl outing featuring clothes-being ripped off and
some sharp-looking buck knives. Blake even throws in an
uncharacteristically hardcore boy/girl segment starring
statuesque punk-looking Rachel Rotten and a scene involving
pounds of red meat that will turn a PETA member's stomach,
but will turn on most anyone else. Nice work.
The talent and technique on display here are pretty
remarkable, and the only real complaint that can be leveled
against this film is that the perfectly composed imagery
might feel sterile to fans of more down-n-dirty materials,
but that's a minor whine about a fabulous film.
A special mention here for the Music. Raul Valve owns. He
earns an early pre-nom for his work here. Blake gets a Best
Film citation as well as a Best Director - Film.
