Starring: Laura Angel, Olivia de Treville, Nikki Anderson, Kate Moore, Silvia Saint, Maeva Exel, Claudia Demoro, and Gili Sky

Synopsis: The owner of a struggling modeling agency has been given the opportunity to make huge amounts of money. But, at what cost? Will she give into the maniacal ambitions of an elderly blackmailer/con-artist? At the same time, a feud erupts between the boss and one of their upcoming models who wants to create her own agency together with her lover, the photographer.

Overall: Marc Dorcel is France's answer to Andrew Blake! He manages to glamorize porn without neglecting the hardcore aspects of porn within the constraints of a great plot. Wicked made a great strategic investment by purchasing the US distribution rights to Marc Dorcel features. I was impressed about the total package: the sophisticated setting, the women, and the sex! There is no question that this production rivals the best productions from Private. 

DVD Quality:  Using the bitrate viewer, the DVD feature's audio was encoded at 448 kbps! Most mainstream releases from major studios such as Dreamworks and Warner encode at this rate. That is pretty damn good!  Furthermore, the variable bit rate for the video end ranged from 4-8 Mbps, which is on par with mainstream releases! Now, what does this translate into? It translates into great dubbed audio and great video quality. This porn DVD may have set the standard for DVD quality. The bit rates for both the audio and video are on the high end, which means Private and Anabolic/Diabolic better wake up! Lots of Private and Anabolic/Diabolic DVDs have audio bitrates of 192 and a somewhat lower video bit rate (just a bit though).

Sure, there is some pixelation occurring in the darker scenes. Despite this minor problem, it deserves a five! The quality really shines in the threeway lesbian scene. The picture quality is spectacular. 

Extras: First off, I would like to say that the quality of the extras is more important than the quantity. At first glance, the extras do not seem much. Okay. There are brief biographies of Laura, Kate, and Nikki Anderson, which are in French and English. Second, the photo gallery has a great feel to it. Every time you advance to the next picture, it makes a shutter sound as if you were taking a picture of the women. In addition, all the photos from the gallery have great resolution.

Finally, the "Making of" or the Behind the Scenes footage is executed very well. So what if it is presented in French only. After all, it is a French film. If you listen closely as well as having a basic knowledge of French, you will find great insights (even if the ideas are not new) from these pornstars. For instance, Olivia talks about the time when her townsfolk back in Slovakia discovered that she was a pornstar. Most of her friends admonished her and could not believe that she would enter such a profession. As a result, she found out who were real friends were. She also discusses why she joined the business: 1. For the money 2. The travel 3. Meeting nice people. Olivia is just being truthful and human. On a lighter note, there are instances where the playful character of the pornstars show up as seen in Kate More's scene. Another treat is the real sex sounds from the threeway lesbian scene as well as Kate More's scene.   

LIKES: I could go on and on and I WILL!

CLAUDIA! LAURA! THE COMTESSE! NIKKI! SILVIA! KATE! OLIVIA! The scenes were smokin' HOT!

The tropical setting was great! The use of the mansion gave the porn a sense of sophisticated elegance. All the women were dressed classy and not slutty looking as most porn movies show. 

The music was excellent, especially with the techno-rock version of Pachelbel's "Canon." Fortunately, the language selection menu has this specific song looping!

The plot was executed very well and I especially liked the ending!

DISLIKES: I would have preferred to see a full on view of the women receiving the facials rather than a side aspect.


Scene One: Claudia Demoro and Maeva Exel

Laura Angel is a struggling owner of a Saint- Tropez glamour agency named Alexie and Cie. She sunbathes on the beach not far from her photographer’s model shoot. Jack, the photographer, tries to work his magic with the two inexperienced models. Olivia is the longhaired Slovak with firm tits and a wonderfully shaved slit. We have a couple of gratuitous soft-core shots of the models. Laura is curious to see what is going on. Obviously, the photographer has a difficulty directing them. She approaches the ladies and tells Jack to keep them under control. She heads for her office, which is conveniently located on the beach.

Laura’s other fashion model, Claudia DeMoro, is talking with the makeup artist, Maeva Exel. I am nothing but great praise for Claudia since she is all that multiplied by four! Towering at around 1.78 meters, this shorthaired brunette has a great body. Anyway, Maeva and Claudia decide to walk to the city. However, they did not realize how far it was so they hitchhike. With bodies like that, I have a feeling that they will have no trouble finding a bloke. A Euro trash dude picks them up in his Renault Convertible. Maeva breaks the ice with him by telling the man that he is sitting next to a fashion model. Feeling a little coquettish, Maeva tells him that she noticed a blindfold in the car. Hmmmmh! Like a boy scout, this man is always prepared. .  . condom and all! He stops his car and finds a secluded place in the forest. The women waste no time in putting the blindfold on him. So, this is what deviant acts models do with their makeup artists after a long photo session! I have no problem with that. They spin him around so he does not know who is doing what to him.

Maeva brings his pants down and sucks on cock. Claudia rubs his chest while kissing him sensually. When Claudia wraps her luscious mouth on dick, I am in heaven. This scene heats up with the intense tag-team blowjob. The teasing in the scene is worth the price of admission. For example, the women enjoy watching the jackass trying to seek them out while they undress. When Claudia finally undresses, we see a nicely shaved pussy and perky breasts. Maeva is first up and gets it doggy style. Claudia’s performance heat up when the camera captures her being plowed in both holes in the reverse cowgirl position. The stranger takes Maeva anally and pulls out so he spooges on Claudia’s beautiful face. The high velocity cod drips from her upper lip, which looks so damn sexy. Like the conscious man he is, he avoids the cream of chowda’ on Claudia’s face when he kisses her.

Scene Two: Olivia

Having tamed Olivia, the new talent, Jack has gained her trust. Now, she wants him to break her in with sex. This is rather one of the more romantic scenes in the film. She wraps her legs around him while he penetrates her in the missionary. The sensual and passionate kissing occurs throughout the whole scene. Jack thrusts him member into her ass until he delivers a sloppy facial.

Scene Three: Laura

The next day, Laura sits in her office looking very scrumptious. With those Armani-looking eyeglasses, she looks intelligent. The camera captures her white panties while she crosses her legs. Ahhh! Anyway, she experiences more financial hardship. Her major client has withdrawn his offer. However, she receives a call from Baron Swank. 

Meanwhile, Jack has completed another photo shoot with Olivia. While they return to the office, Olivia tries to convince Jack that he does not need Alexie and they could create their own model agency. Since Jack is team player, he explains it is not that simple by discussing the financial side of running an agency. Before Jack enters the office, he kisses Olivia.

Laura attacks Jack with great news about a huge contract. What better way to celebrate the unexpected news then with sex! He grips her from behind and feels her up by touching her thighs. The erotic kissing leads to a very hot blowjob. Meanwhile, Olivia spies on their celebration. Again, Marc Dorcel delivers the gratuitous panty shot of Olivia. Jack has his way with her in the pussy and ass. Finally, he sprays his cum over her asshole.

Scene Three: Nikki Anderson, Kate More, and Silvia Saint

After the torrid sex romp, Baron Swank’s henchmen drive her to his residence. She wears a knockoff Chanel outfit. The kooky Baron Swank shows her shots of Jack fucking Olivia, the new talent. At first, she does not understand what is going on. In order to clarify what he does for a living, he leads her to a peep room where we see Nikki Anderson, Kate More, and Silvia Saint. 

Again, we have gratuitous panty shots! These three European pornstars have dominated the porn world for several years. I do not know how Marc Dorcel was able to have these three women in the same scene. These women give this lesbian scene class. The majority of the action involves anal fingering and licking between Silvia and Nikki. Kate provides a supporting role.

Baron Swank finishes taking photos and returns to the office. He gives Laura the 411 on Nikki. Apparently, Nikki is the wife of a Prime Minister of an undisclosed nation and the fellow is a gigolo.

She realizes that Baron Swank blackmails for a living by setting up prominent citizens in sexually compromising circumstances. The Baron wants to use her glamour models for bait. She does not agree to it and counters by saying that her agency deals with escort and publicity and not blackmail. Still, the Baron does not buy into her reason and invites her to his party. He thinks that she will reverse her decision especially with huge amounts of money involved.

Scene Four: Nikki Anderson

The next scene starts with a techno-inspired version of Pachelbel’s Canon. Here we have Nikki Anderson with the gigolo, who was tortured by watching the lesbian scene. Well, he is not tormented anymore since he has her to himself. Nikki Anderson looks much better as a brunette than a blonde. She has a Playboy-Penthouse type body, which she displays in the reverse cowgirl position. All I can say is that she has great hips and thighs. . . you have to like the curves on her. Finally, she sucks him until she receives her award right on her face. 

Laura is pissed off with Jack and Olivia. She shows them the sex pictures. Olivia infuriates her more by saying that she is in love with Jack. Since Laura is the boss, she fires Jack and tells him to pick up the paperwork the next day.

Jack returns to office and finds the place messed up. He cannot find Laura. Suddenly, the phone rings and it is Baron Swank on the line. He tells Jack to make sure that Laura attends the reception.

Feeling distraught and stressed, Jack calms his thoughts at the beach. Olivia meets him and tries to make him forget about Laura.

Scene Five: Gili Sky and Kate More 

At the reception, Laura is nowhere to be found. The Baron schmoozes with his guests, while his ladies, Gili Sky and Kate bait a prominent citizen. After small talk, Gili and Kate lead him to a bedroom. Meanwhile, the Baron’s crony informs him that it is time to photograph the sex act. Kate More takes a hard anal in the missionary position, which makes the man cum on them. He erupts with several massive squirts that hit Kate’s face but miss Gili’s.

Scene Six: Comtesse Anastasia Lipouchkine

The Baron is satisfied with his photos and returns to the reception. His servant informs him that a Comtesse Anastasia Lipouchkine has just entered. The red-haired Comtesse is a Sophia Loren look-alike. Not only is she classy, she has great breasts. The Baron cannot take his eyes off her and neither can I! He makes a business and sexual proposal to her: for $1,000,000 he makes her a blackmail partner and has sex with her. He unlocks his safe and pulls the wads of cash into a suitcase. Now, the Comtesse has to deliver the sexual favor.

To warm things up, she starts with a great strip tease. She reveals her tan stockings and garter belt. Then, she exposes her luscious breasts. This is by far one of the best strip teases I have ever seen. Next, she takes out handcuffs and straps it onto herself and the suitcase, while she waits for the geezer to give it to her. She relaxes on the couch and is puzzled that the Baron’s henchmen have entered the room. Since the old man cannot get it up, he uses his servants to do the “nasty.” First, she is surprised. I love her reaction to such an intense scene. This lady is a great blowjob artist in the business. It is both funny and erotic that she still has the case strapped onto her while she has sex. The EXPLOSIVE sex occurs in the doggy and reverse cowgirl position in the pussy and then in the ass. One man unloads on her face and the other cums on her ass. I would have liked the camera to capture the facial straight on and not by the side so I could see more of her pretty face.

Scene Eight: Claudia

Jack continues to photograph the models despite having not seen Laura for a day. Jack is a strict follower of the “work hard, play hard” belief. After a long day of photos, what better way to pass the time by having your dick blown by Claudia while the sun sets! After the hot fellatio, he fucks her pussy furiously until he makes a cream pie! By the time he splurges, it is already dark.

Scene Nine: Olivia

He continues to photograph the models the next day. After a feud between Olivia and Claudia starts, they return to the office. Instead of finding Laura, they see a red-haired female stranger. She explains that she is the Comtesse and she is the new boss. The group does not believe her story and demands proof so the Comtesse shows a letter explaining that Laura has entrusted the agency to her. Olivia threatens the new boss by saying that Jack and her are setting up their own agency. Olivia calls Baron Swank and goes to his mansion in order to ask for capital to start up an agency. She does not know what is awaiting her. 

Olivia meets the Baron. He explains to her that it is not possible to give her the capital since he has already made a deal with the Comtesse. The Comtesse works for him! Olivia cannot believe it. The Baron makes Olivia more uncomfortable by calling her a whore. As a matter of fact, the Baron mentions to her that Olivia is the first lady to be delivered by the Comtesse to him.   

The Baron signals his cronies to enjoy the Comtesse’s choice. Olivia pleasures their dicks with tremendous suction power. This lady does it all from anal to double penetration. After a thorough fucking, one man delivers a tremendous facial while the other cums on her ass.

Meanwhile, the Comtesse surreptitiously watches the double penetration from the peeping room. Then, she enters the room to take Olivia with her.

Scene Ten: Olivia and Claudia

At the office, the Comtesse sets things straight. She confides to Jack and Olivia that the Baron is a Madman turned into maniacal blackmailer. She implores them to set up a sting! So, the Comtesse calls the Baron about two lovely ladies that he might be interested in photographing them in compromising situations. They set a time and place for this to occur.

I do not want to spoil the great ending so I will leave it at that! But, I will say that Olivia and Claudia are involved in a lesbian scene!

Parting Thoughts: This is a porn masterpiece!
