well, folks, i don't know what to think of this one.
i can only assume that there must have been some serious problems on the day of shooting, or perhaps it's an artistic european choice i'm too unsophisticated an american to grasp: but this is the first time i've ever seen a complete scene fade out just as the second round begins. it's also the first time i've seen a full round of fingering where the camera is focused on the receiver's face throughout without cutting back to the action. which is unusual enough that it raises automatic suspicions: she must be faking it, she has a yeast infection or some other issue that make filming her downstairs inadvisable, and so forth. i don't particularly demand to see genital contact (people, and the things you can see in their faces, interest me more than anatomy does), but i'm used enough to it that not seeing any was certainly distracting.
but that was all the second half of the scene. the first half was, i thought, particularly interesting: a novel twist on the trite european formula of beautiful girls lounging in a beautiful location before moving languorously into sex. nancy and hazel (whose usual nom de porn is tetti dew korti, and i can see why studios change it) converse in russian about dracula's castle, which hazel mistakenly thinks is in prague but nancy knows is in romania, although she doesn't know any dracula stories. i didn't buy their "argument" for a moment, but it worked a lot better in russian with subtitles than it would have if they had stumbled through trying to carry it out in english.
once hazel goes to the window to sulk and nancy goes there to make it up to her, the ambient noise i'd been hearing all along makes sense: the window is open on a busy prague boulevard, with the vyšehrad bridge visible in the distance, and the sounds of a bustling european city in the late afternoon come drifting through. you can hear conversations, traffic, snatches of music from a passing vehicle, the rumblings of trains across the bridge: which didn't detract from the scene for once, but immersed me even further into the world being filmed.
a lot of that is due to fredy riger's cinematography. their bodies are lit by the crisp brightness of an afternoon sun, but it isn't harsh or glaring the way it would be in the lens of lesser photographers: it looks entirely natural and beautiful, the way it does in life. it's entirely different from the soft mood lighting of the stacy cruz/sybil a scene he released earlier this month, but it still looks exquisite.
unfortunately i have to dock the editing heavily. it may have been a heroic salvage job given the limitations of what they had to work with on the day (or as i say, i may just be too dumb it get it), but the end result still feels incomplete. i know i often say the shorter the better, but some kind of conclusion is ideal.
