Kayden Kross has done the unthinkable: she has made art porn erotic. When a director sets things up with a hyper-romantic quote from “Wuthering Heights,” you know she’s not on the usual XXX wavelength. When all four vignettes sizzle and burn, you know she’s doing it right.

Superbly photographed (by Winston Henry and Alex Ladd), the movie is oblique and deliberately mystifying. You’re never sure just what you’re watching, but what you see is often incandescent.

Katrina Jade, bound, gets unwound by two hooded muscular men. She blows them both as a hooded priest-like figure watches from a throne. (It’s her real-life husband, Nigel Dictator.) Then the hoods come off and she kisses Charles Dera and Tommy Gunn. Dera fucks her as she blows Gunn. The scene is totally controlled and deliberate, building to volcanic and almost unhinged.

The delicious looking Honey Gold gets banged—and how!—by Mick Blue in a room lit by red neon. Again, beauty and heat.

Angela White wanders through a garage housing a vintage Lincoln Continental. Manuel Ferrara shows up too. He face-fucks her. She is almost abject in her need. “Thank you so much for fucking me.” This is no longer porn star Angela, but a desperately horny, driven woman, pleading for more, more, more.

Four men have been waiting in the Lincoln. She blows them all. With its moody back-lighting, it’s one of the artiest blowbangs ever, but also one of the most intense. Manuel fucks her on her back while the other guys jerk off. She writhes on the floor, rubbing cum all over her body. It’s one of the Australian superstar’s most memorable scenes, and it probably couldn’t have happened without a woman behind the camera.

Finally, Kayden herself, drop-dead gorgeous, in vibrant color against a black background, plays with red-haired Jillian Janson. Then they both attack Manuel, who is reflected in a plate-glass mirror. Kayden performs a super-erotic tease. The way she looks at him alone—especially while she’s stroking Jillian’s pussy—is bound to be boner-inducing. The women share his stiff cock. Chemistry rules.
