There always seems to be something quite stylish about all things European. As I do so often, I have a look at sports. As a former soccer player (I miss my knees, by the way), I always appreciated the flavour the game had in different parts of the world. So much of the style of the South Americans made its way across the Atlantic, merged with the flair of the Italians, the style of the Spanish, the grit of the English, the tactics of the Germans and the out-of-this-world innovation of the Dutch. They had it all figured out, and they had it all within one continent. No offense to the MLS, but North America has to comparison.
Pornography turns this a bit on its head. The United States is by far the leader in porn production, though their centering in one valley of California means that it is highly isolated. Compare this to the Europeans, though, and you see quite a range of productions, in both quality and approach, and a fresh flavour that is usually technically quite impressive. One of the studios we have to thank for this is Marc Dorcel, and
Club Paradise is a typical offer, with some slight signs of a plot combined with plenty of surprisingly explicit sex.
We open with a surprisingly large number of potential cast members, making it almost a guessing game for who is going to fuck whom first. We wind up in a kitchen, like a restaurant kitchen, with one guy having his way with a very nice looking brunette. He gets some tongue work in all over her, and just as she's getting to the knob polishing bits, another guy walks in. As this is an adult film, you'll already know what happens. Actually, as I already knew how the beginning parts were going to unfold, I went into the other room to watch the end of the season premiere of
House with OranjeWife. I come back to see that we're still at the one dick in the mouth/one dick in the pussy stage. They have to proceed slowly here, as they're using condoms, so it isn't the most fluid scene I've ever seen. The guy with the condom on eventually decides that an ass is a bit more fun, and they go that way until one load is blown basically on her pussy, the other just above her (still-clothed) tits. Not a bad scene. Just strange.
The lovely and talented Tarra White stars in the second scene. She's just a joy to behold if you've never yet had the privilege. Like the first scene, she takes on two guys at once, though this scene has better flow and a lot more heat to it. Every heterosexual permutation you could get is pretty much done in this scene, and I'm reminded once again why I am attracted to every film this woman does. Not to be missed is the reverse cowgirl with blowjob, showcasing Tarra's perfect legs and tits. The spoon was nice, though the regular cowgirl was shot at too awkward of a position to be really effective. No DP here, which would have been fun, but Tarra does take two relatively minor shots. They seem to have been jump cut in a bit, though, and one minute we're looking at the guys' faces, the next seeing a few drops of cum on Tarra's chin and a bit more on her tits. Again, a nice scene, but they seem to have messed up the ending.
There's quite the length of time in between here, with the development of just a bit of plot and some spying on a very attractive blonde with her partner. After three false starts, they do finally get going in an apartment setting, using one of the more bizarre looking couches you've ever seen. This one went reasonably well. Tarra has another scene as well that is certainly worth a look. Though they all are.
It's a good film, especially for the couple that doesn't mind a bit of anal and can be up for a bit of plot. It's a bit more exotic than your average domestic feature. In some ways, at times at least, it's a love story.
Club Paradise pulls together a lot of personality from Europe to make a film that really works quite well.
