La Soiree De Connes JTC Directed by Patrice Cabanel Starring: Illona, Bamboo, Melissa, Alain L'yle, Bruno SX, Kevin Long Running time: 1hr 17mins Format: PAL/All Zones Prior to watching this French language effort from Patrice Cabanel, I honestly wasn't aware that anyone was making movies like this anymore. With its resolutely low budget approach, La Soiree De Connes looks as crude as its title suggests, and at times makes those pirate VHS tapes of late eighties and early nineties Magma movies that I always ended up with look positively sophisticated. The plot is simple - three friends pick up women, and then everyone gets together for the party. First, Kevin Long meets modestly attractive brunette Illona outside a peepshow/sex shop establishment. She seems utterly disinterested, both in his patter and in her own performance, as they chat back at his pad. The unbelievably unoriginal device of spilling a drink over her is used, not once but twice, to get her to strip to lingerie and stockings.
