Totaly Softcore from start to finish.pNow that R18 Harder Titles are legal in the UK, it is not worth the effort.pI would try harder shops such as videoshack for the same title but only R18.pAs soon as the government allows mass distribution of the harder versions through Amazon, then it will be better for us all.p"Not worth The Bother"

| A work of unsettling genius | |

The benchmark of amateur pornography has again been raised yet again. Ben Dover truly lives up to his reputation as the Orson Welles of the pornographic genre. The use of the simple hand held digital cam is cohesive with the genres dogme 95 paradigm. This is guerrilla film making at its best. Dover's work again sets him apart from his contemporaries of the genre. brThey believed themselves to be making the cinema of the proletariat. Yet the anti- conservative cinema itself became conservative, because the genesis upon which its theories were based was the conservative understanding of erotica. The auteur concept was bourgeois romanticism from the very start and thereby ... false!brIt is here Dover sets himself apart. His vision is stark unrelenting realism. The players are amateurs some having never acted before, the dialogue is terse and "Street" sometimes frightening in its banality. The narrative relies more of the non-verbal communication of the players to relay the essence of the films message. pA Bruising no holds barred avant-garde masterpiece.

A celebration of millenial modernity forms the essential backdrop to this erotic masterpiece. The speed of change in the new century is caught best by the films lack of dialougue and so the frantic action of interlocking loins are kept moving briskly from one scene to the next. Dover manages to find an antique cinematography found in old 50's american porn by filming no penetration scenes whatsoever, marvelous.. Dover is erotica's WG Grace, like the father of modern cricket, his place in history is eternal as the father of modern porn, taking erotic cinema to transcending levels of art and beauty.pA Masterpiece from a genius p(the arses aint bad either)

A triumph of post-instrumentalist cinema. The tension between the existential anguish of the script and the discursive schema of the production is, far from being resolved, highlighted and celebrated. The quotes from Blackadder and Genet only conspire to add to the post-ironic play on genre. Dover truly goes from strength to strength. Hats off.

| Interesting take on pre-Castro cuban sex lives | |

This DVD is an excellent intro to the world of Cuban SM and fetishism in pre and post-communist regimes. Althought the narrative is repetative at times at times it neatly ends with a twist not seen since the Usual Suspects.pPure magic and the hand puppets are an added bonus.
