DISC ONE:
JULIA [60 mins]
Director: Roy Stuart
CAST: Anna Biella, Alessandro Corsini & Pascal Mufflet
Guilia is the only story that runs a full 60 minutes. It was made in 1999, and was released previously on its own disk. It concerns a young, free-spirited dance student. When everyone in her class except her is told they are going to Rome to perform, she is not happy. She vows she will also go. Next stop is her drama coach, who makes some pretext to get her naked and tries the old casting couch routine. She tells him tomorrow night will be his lucky one, and to meet her at an address. The address ends up being a live sex show where she is the star. She invites her drama coach to participate, but he chickens out. After the show, we cut to the next morning, where she wakes up in bed with her girlfriend. It is there that she learns why she is not scheduled for Rome. Her sex show partner is also sleeping with her male dance instructor. She visits them, screws her sex partner, and somehow insures her trip to Rome. The highlight there is her stripping naked and pissing against a wall in the basement of the Vatican. An amazing fiery redhead, Anna Biella, plays Guilia. She not only shows everything, but strokes her partner during the sex stage show, and the oral sex is within a mm of being hard core, or possibly it is.
I AM THE WAY YOU WANT ME [24 mins]
Director: Francesco Dominedo
CAST: Fiorella Rubino & Tinto Brass.
I am the Way You Want Me is a solo performance by Fiorella Rubino. She is in a bathroom, and is following her master's instructions, which include polishing her nails, trimming her bush with a straight razor, putting on a wet white shirt, kneeling under the running shower, licking milk from a plate, and sticking two fingers in her pussy and two in her ass. I have no problem with any of that. but would love to know how someone figures out that is what will turn them on. Fiorella Rubino shows everything in this performance
.A MAGIC MIRROR [23 mins]
Director: Stefano Soli
CAST: Loredana Cannata, Rolando Ravello & Massimiliano Franciosa
A Magic Mirror tells the story of a narcissistic husband and his long-suffering young wife. They have moved into a new apartment. She is unpacking, and he his lounging in the bath, and requiring her to wait on him hand and foot. When his brother comes over to deliver a new wall mirror, he talks the brother into mounting it on the wall. The brother makes a pass at the young wife, as he has secretly wanted to do for years, and she tells him to return when hubby leaves. The girl is played by Loredana Cannata, who shows breasts and buns.
With a bit of a nod and a wink to Alfred Hitchcock, Italian ero-director Tinto Brass 'presents' 3 erotic vignettes lensed by other Italian directors in this first (of four) compilation DVDs of erotic stories. Tinto 'introduces' each segment with some engaging babble and also (ala Hitchcock) puts in a brief cameo appearance in each story. The style of the 3 erotic shorts is very much in the Brass tradition - sumptuously photographed and celebrating female sexuality. "A Magic Mirror" is the least 'sexy' of the tales and deals with a family triangle of 2 brothers (one a conceited jerk and one a 'nice guy'), the 'jerk's' wife, and a little relationship 'karma'. "Julia" is the longest segment - it follows the convoluted sensual life of an attractive young woman that ultimately reveals her multifaceted sexual persona - very 'arty' and erotic! "I Am the Way You Want Me' is a bit of an erotic soliloquy featuring a somewhat masochistic woman lolling about on a bathroom floor carrying out some of her (absent) lover's kinky instructions. This DVD, as well as the others in the set, exude a sophisticated European approach to erotic cinema that is a pleasure to behold. The women are all lovely and 'real' in their roles - full nudity abounds - and the story-lines are as intriguing as they are enticing and titillating. A very enjoyable viewing experience and potentially even suitable as a 'date' movie, to set the mood.
