Gina (Gina Wild) and her husband live in an open relationship, inasmuch
as he doesn't mind that she has sex with pretty much everyone she meets,
including a black male model at a photoshoot, a naked woman who
inexplicably shows up in her bathroom, a guy she's supposed to give a
massage to, and two bums in the subway. When Gina catches her husband in
bed with another woman though, she is deeply hurt, so much so that he has
to make her the centerpiece of a bukakke session to make up. This
film catapulted later actress Michaela Schaffrath into porn stardom in the
German language market as Gina Wild after a very short initiation phase,
and even though her porn career only lasted a couple of years (!) and a
handful of films with her in the lead (handful as in fewer than ten), she
has during her time in the biz become one of the very few porn German
superstars (within the German language market) thanks to clever marketing
that got her appearences in many mainstream late night talkshows and news
magazines, coupled of course with her good looks and likeable personality.
Of course, to do pretty much everything in her first starring film
including anal, double penetration, girl-girl, interracial and bukakke
helped with the porn crowd. And the boob job she never denied to have had
is very subtly done. All of this of course says nothing about
the quality of the film, which is at best so-so. Of course, porn fans will
like the film for pulling no stops and the simple fact that lead actress
Gina Wild is in almost every scene of her own movie (something not
necessarily true for a lot of other star-driven porn films) - but on a
plot level (and this is a plot-driven film), the whole thing leaves a lot
to be desired: Though the set-up is somewhat reminiscent of the early
movies of the Emmanuelle-series,
showing a couple in a sexually open relationship, the posibilities of this
premise are never properly presented, and at times the film simply falls
apart by giving up narrative continuity altogether just to show another
sex scene, only to pick the story up again later on. Plus on a directorial
level, only very little is made of the beautiful Paris locations the film
is set in, which makes one wonder why bother in the first place. All this
said, this is of course first and foremost a porn film, and of hardcore
fucking, there is more than enough in this one ... still, I feel as a
whole the film could have been much better.
