l: amie, r: serena a

metart, as a production company, has traditionally focused on erotic photography, usually of a single model; even when they branched out into video toward the end of the 2000s, the videos have tended to remain solo masturbation. their sub-brand the life erotic, which focuses more on female pleasure and light kink than on pristine visuals, is also largely solo-oriented, but occasionally includes a girl/girl scene. on the website, this scene is called "taking turns 2" because "taking turns 1" is the name of the photoset from the same session, another reminder that video is a lower priority for any metart-owned brand that isn't sexart or viv thomas.

like most metart models, the women using the names amie and serena for this site don't appear to be prolific elsewhere; i can't even tell for sure if this is a european or us production. (or perhaps latin american; the credits appear to vacillate between english and spanish.) it's a brief scene, taking place entirely within a bathroom of indeterminate usage; although they start out touching up each other's makeup, once the sex has finished they turn the corner and take a shower together.

not a word is exchanged, but the moody camera work and the sultry music which extends much further into the scene than usual do a good job of communicating a connection which, to be fair, is also palpable in the performances; even though the life erotic tends to be much less glamorous than almost any other met art sub-brand (save one), director alana h uses dark shadows and long stares in smart, provocative ways despite the minuscule budget and paltry run time.

the scene certainly doesn't wear out its welcome: unlike practically every other scene i've reviewed this month, it focuses on a single slow-burn sex act, serena getting amie off, and then is over. i don't know that it's necessarily more realistic than the usual acrobatic porn marathon (no wordless girl/girl scene can ever be very realistic), but the break with standard industry practice is noteworthy and even appreciated. i prefer to be left wanting more than to be bored by surfeit.
