I like to see someone take risks. First shot out of the box and producer/director Peter Davy (with backing from Hustler) casts a relative newcomer (Champagne) in the kind of role that Georgina Spelvin used to eat for breakfast.
With a generous touch of black humor, Champagne (looking like the Taija Rae of old) plays a woman incapable of having an orgasm. She has accidentally electrocuted her husband in a bathtub with a live dildo and goes to a shrink (Peter North) who apparently prescribes for her the kind of chemical substance Carlos Casteneda used to eat for lunch.
In Peyote-like hallucinogenic dreams, Champagne tries to get in touch with her guilt and those forces within that will allow the resumption of her natural pleasure cycle. Some of the visual stuff gets very esoteric and a trifle overindulgent, but chalk that up to enthusiasm.
The dream sex sequences are erotically charged and well effected, and Champagne brings many of the same elements we saw in Spelvin's Devil in Miss Jones. Video doesn't cast many erotic classics, but this comes darn close. All the more notable for a first effort.
