Fem: Bella Justine Review

Reviewed by Hairy Palmer  on  1/9/2004

Michael Ninn is beginning to give Andrew Blake a run for his money with his Art Porn films released under the Ninn Worx label. In fact, his movies share a number of drop-dead gorgeous models. In this movie, the headline is given to Justine (aka Swan), a Blake discovery.

Plotless, the film is simply a series of vignettes of fashion-plate models artfully photographed and happily wanking away once they've shed sufficient clothing. Breaking down into five sections, each section consists of two or so sequences of solo performances - strip and masturbation - then the two (or three) solo artistes have a lesbianic encounter involving glass implements.

All very picturesque, but oddly passionless. That's a criticism often aimed at Andrew Blake. The women in the movies kiss and do a bit of play lesbianism, but nobody really gets into the mood, or gets a froth on. I've not seen anything else from the Ninn Worx label, but I'm favourably impressed. I'd still like to see a bit more passion about these art porn movies. Just because they're well produced doesn't mean they have to be boring.

The movie is just short of two hours, with a twenty-eight minute "making of" and a photogallery.

Starring Justine, Anais, Jana Cova, Wanda Curtis and Angel Cassidy, the eye candy quotient is very high with Ms Cova taking the bow for drop-dead-gorgeousness. Now, if I woke up tied to her, I'd be happy...
