Naive country bumpkin Chantal (Misty Mundae) arrives in Hollywood to
become an actress, no, a star, in a mere week, but when she wants to
check into a posh hotel, she is only ridiculed by the deskclerk (Patrick
Leggett), and now two blocks down the road, she is threatened by a hooker
(Julian Wells) with a knife. Finally she finds a room in a rundown hotel,
but Pablo (Tony Marsiglia), the perverted and heavy-breathing manageer of
the fleapit, charges the white out of her eye for nothing but a small and
filthy room. Chantal tries to get an audition at one of the big studios,
but all she is offered, is a threeway with a security guard (Louis
G.Villaescusa) and his sleazy pal (Wayne Edward Sherwood) - and when she
runs away, she is attacked by a lunatic, only to be saved by Lisa (Andrea
Davis), seemingly the first friendly face Chantal bumps into in Hollywood.
Lisa promises to help her out, and invites her to her place she shares
with photographer Victoria (Darian Caine) to make some headshots right
away ... but this doesn't turn out quite as planned when Victoria turns
out to be a dominatrix forcing Chantal to strip and have sex with Lisa on
cam. In tears, Chantal returns to her hotel, only to find out that the
manager has given away her room to someone else and thrown her stuff into
the garbage ... so Chantal finds herself out in the gutter wearing nothing
but a torn dress - when Tracy, the hooker who threatened her with a knife
at the beginning of the film, finds her, picks her up, takes her home,
bathes and feeds her. And all Tracy, who introduces herself as an escort,
asks of Chantal is to accompany her to one of her clients, who has asked
for two girls, and Tracy's usual partner-in-crime has fallen sick. Chantal
expects the two of them will accompany Tracy's client, a film producer
(Chris D.Nebe), to a movie premiere, but the guy instead forces the girls
to strip and have lesbian sex at gunpoint ... but wile at it, Chantal
realizes how much she loves it, and that she has fallen in love with
Tracy. Tracy though tells her that she is not one to be trusted, and as if
to prove her point, she steals the money Chantal got for the job at the
film producer - which Chantal only notices when she wants to check into
the posh hotel from the beginning of the film again. However, this time
the desk clerk has pity with her and gives her a room anyways - and she's
so grateful she makes love to him in return ... but then the deskclerk
calls his pals and they gangrape poor Chantal. In tears and bruised and
battered, Chantal returns to the place of Lisa and Victoria, having
delusions of getting her headshots after all - but once there, she
accidently shoots Victoria with the gun she stole from the film producer
... but Victoria isn't really dead, as the gun, just like everything else
in Hollywood, is only fake. What's more, rather unexpectedly, Lisa and
Victoria have made Chantal a star after all - on a lesbian porn site ... After
many references to private planes throughout the film, Chantal's story
ends on an airfield, where a final delusion is cut short by rotor blades
... Director Tony Marsiglia at his best: Built upon the
template of Nick Philips' 1969-film Chantal
- one of his weaker efforts to be quite honest -, this one tells a sleazy
and slightly clichéd little story ... but seen through the eyes of an
artist. So instead of a 90-minute-series of sex-scenes, expect surreal
and/or allegoric images, weird and creepy sequences, a peek into a
parallel world populated entirely by freaks, and imagery that's by far
closer to David Lynch than to anything ever encountered in sexploitation
cinema. A rather remarkable film, actually. Shot back-to-back with
Marsiglia's Lust for Dracula
by the way.
