Best by Private 53: Gang Bang Debauchery Review

Reviewed by skronker  on  3/26/2005

There was a time when I eagerly rented Private tapes -- but it's been a few years. Once I discovered Christoph Clark's take on EuroBabe decadence and hard sex, the shortcomings of Private's "house style" were painfully obvious. The cheesy dubbing and voice-overs, the detachment caused by cameras held too far away from the action combined with extremely choppy edits that kill any sense of natural flow to a scene, the typically gorgeous all-natural women whose inherent sexuality seemed muted by the slick, formal production values: Even though some great performers have made their entry to porn through Private productions, almost any gonzo fare is hotter. The stuff is just dead in the water.

This comp of gang bang scenes is a must-to-avoid. There's a funny glimpse of a younger Steve Holmes wearing only some goofy-looking briefs -- I laughed really hard for a second -- but otherwise, not much occasion for arousal. Sarah O'Neal, a very appealing Prague (or Buda) girl, has some good tease setting off a mini-bang session with the (usual) couchful of studs in nice suits and ties. And there's a sassy blonde who likewise intrigues a trio of studs in an outdoors setting before the clothes come off and the spunk flies, but some momentary introductory bits aside, there's just no energy to these scenes. Private's approach to porn insists on a heavily over-mediated style that kills all immediacy. All they have going for them is casting -- but even here, the girls are not excessively stunning, in fact, they are mostly ordinary. I wanted to give it a shot and check out a random Private title, to see if perhaps I've been overly harsh in my assessments (and my Woodman and Castel hatin'), but I confess I like the brand even less now. Private is a complete and utter waste. Even mediocre Rocco Euro titles make this stuff look like the rubbish it is.
