The Little Details

Production Date: 9 / 15 / 2004

Director: Manuel Ferrara

Cast: Barbara Summer, Marie Luv, Michelle B., Paola Rey, Sativa Rose, Trinity, and of course, Manuel Ferrara

The Short Story

Initial Expectations: I’m not much of a POV fan, but with Manuel helming this one I can’t help but have a bit of hope.

Initial Reaction: It’s pretty darn good.

Who Should Watch It : POV fans

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting an all anal POV movie

The Technical Stuff

Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are very nicely done. The audio is clear and well balanced, but there are a couple very minor background noises. The video is also nicely done. It has some of the normal limitations of POV porn with a little camera motion and a tight field of view, but nothing beyond that.

Music: None

Menus: The main menu is okay, and combines a bit of animation with the movie and the boxcover. The chapter menu is pretty good, and lets you choose a scene based on a small clip of each scene and the name of the lovely lady in it.

The Feature

Manuel Ferrara POV gives you just that. Manuel’s behind the camera fucking girls and normally only lets you only see his cock as he does it.

Scene 1 - Michelle B. and Manuel Ferrara

Smoking hot blonde British trollup Michelle starts things out stretching out a white wifebeater with black hotpants and denying Manuel a look at her boobs. Manuel fixes that by having Juan Cuba grab a garden hose and spray her down, and soon after they strike a deal where Michelle will show Manuel her boobs if she can suck his cock. She drops down to pull out his cock and goes right to sucking it shortly after lifting up her top. Michelle slowly works it over with her mouth and tongue while giving him some great eyes before granting his request to work on it with her boobs. They head inside where she sucks Manuel a little more before sliding her pussy over his cock cowgirl style. Michelle puts her pussy to work for a bit before moving Manuel’s cock back and into her ass. She lets him have her ass first in cowgirl and then in reverse cowgirl so he can see her great ass before letting him continue to check it out fucking it doggie style. Manuel and Michelle finish things up with a bit of missionary work on Michelle’s ass before he gives her a nice facial.

This is a pretty hot scene. As usual, Michelle looks fantastic and puts out some nice energy. There’s a bit of chemistry between her and Manuel, but unfortunately it doesn’t go far because Manuel barely moves throughout the entire scene. There’s a good reason for this which is given in the behind the scenes featurette, and it also explains the camera work being a little off of what POV scenes normally go with, but it still leaves the scene falling a little short of where I would have expected the scene to be with Manuel taking on Michelle. I was also a little surprised that there wasn’t any ass to mouth action in the scene, but I can’t say that it had an affect on the overall scene. It was just a surprising omission with how common it seems to be in anal scenes today. That said, this is still a pretty hot start for the movie.

Scene 2 - Paola Rey and Manuel Ferrara

While Manuel sits on the couch chatting with Juan Cuba about his POV movie, Paola streaks by outside. Manuel goes out to see what the heck he saw running by the window, and finds Paola cowering upstairs completely nude. Paola comes down feeling very embarrassed and asks Manuel for a towel. They strike a deal where if he helps her she’ll help him as Manuel admires Paola’s fantastic body before heading inside where Paola starts sucking and stroking Manuel’s cock. Paola moves up to ride Manuel in both cowgirls before letting him take her doggie style. Finally, Manuel gives Paola a great pop from her butt up to her head on her back. Paola turns around to suck the last bit out of his cock before the scene fades out.

This is another nicely done scene. There’s a part of me that really wanted to hate it, as it seemed to follow the same position formula as Michelle’s scene while leaving out the anal. At the same time, the fun opening and Paola’s obvious enjoyment and great vocals throughout the scene made me not care if she and Michelle had the same amount of strokes on Manuel’s cock in each position for the formula. This is a hot scene with Paola looking super hot.

Scene 3 - Marie Luv and Manuel Ferrara

When Manuel sees Marie strutting her stuff across a parking lot, he knows he has to go see her. He runs up and offers her some candy if she’ll let him see her titties, and when she asks what kind of candy he hands her the jar to let her choose. She drops her top to show her tits, and after they strike a deal for another couple pieces of candy she pulls up her skirt and pulls her panties aside to show him her pussy. Marie plays with her pussy a little for him while asking about more candy, and when Manuel tells her it’s at home she agrees to follow him home. At his place Manuel lets Marie know that her candy’s in his pants, and she eagerly decides she needs to taste it. She sucks and strokes Manuel while giving him some great eyes before riding him reverse cowgirl style so he can play with her ass while she rides him. Marie turns around and works Manuel over with both her holes cowgirl style and puts her great oral skills back to work sucking all her juices off his cock. She even gives Manuel a little more ass reverse cowgirl and doggie style, and shows off some great gapes before sucking Manuel to a great facial.

This is a very hot scene. I love the setup between Manuel and Marie in the parking lot, and Marie plays into the candy aspect well enough that actually laughed out loud at some of it. She does just as good with the anal, and her gapes were truly a thing of beauty. I mean, they’re good enough that I couldn’t help but think of what Christoph Clark could do with her! This is a great scene with plenty of humor and chemistry.

Scene 4 - Trinity and Manuel Ferrara

Manuel starts out the next scene watching anorexic brunette Trinity shoot some pool wearing a mesh black bra with red hotpants, fishnets, and shoes. She gives him a bit of a show before Manuel gets down to tongue her twat. Manuel doesn’t spend a lot of time down there before coming up to start fucking her missionary style on the edge of the pool table. Trinity slides down to suck his cock in appreciation while giving him some nice eyes before riding Manuel reverse cowgirl style as he lies on the floor and plays with her ass a little. Manuel has her stand up and turn around so he can see her face while he fucks her, and makes sure to help her play with her pussy as she rides him. Trinity sucks Manuel’s cock a little more before turning around and letting him fuck her from behind. Finally, Manuel has Trinity suck and stroke him to a pop in her mouth. She shows it all to him with a naughty smile and then swallows it all down.

Trinity isn’t a girl I normally look forward to seeing, mostly because I like women with a body rather than ones that look like skeletons. That said, I couldn’t help but really be impressed with her here. She and Manuel have great chemistry and she puts out some very realistic seeming vocals. They also have a very nice energy level and keep things moving very well. This is a darn hot scene, and the only thing that seemed to be missing from it was a bit of anal.

Scene 5 - Barbara Summer and Manuel Ferrara

Manuel starts out the penultimate scene talking about how people think it’s easy being a porn actor and that they can fuck any girl they want. He lets people know that those people are right before checking out blonde Barbara lying out by his pool and going down to chat with her. He brings her inside and lets her know that he just wants to fuck her, and she immediately agrees and lets him check out her great breasts and pussy around her knit bikini. Barbara bends over so Manuel can lightly spank her and thumb her ass before turning around and getting down to suck his cock. She moves back to the staircase for Manuel to fuck her from behind before sucking his cock a little more as he sits back on the couch and even eating his ass. Barbara hops up to ride Manuel in both cowgirls and work him over orally a little more before sliding her ass over his cock in both cowgirls and sucking it clean a few times. Barbara moves on to show some every nice gapes as Manuel fucks her ass doggie and missionary style before finishing things up with a great facial.

This is yet another very nice scene. Manuel and Barbara have very nice chemistry together, and I love the humor in the opening that Manuel starts things with. Barbara gets into both the anal and the vaginal very nicely, and I love her enthusiasm eating Manuel’s ass. Once again, Manuel has delivered a hot and nicely done POV scene.

Scene 6 - Sativa Rose and Manuel Ferrara

Manuel starts off the final scene chatting with Sativa as she shows off her great body and lightly teases herself. When she drops to her knees, Sativa works her tongue around Manuel’s foreskin before taking him into her mouth little by little. She also works on Manuel’s cock with her fantastic tits and hands before moving up to ride him in both cowgirls. They get in a bit of doggie and missionary work as well before Sativa takes a nice facial finish to wrap things up.

This is a very good final scene. Sativa does a great job playing to the camera and an even better job with her vocals. She’s energetic and playful, and made this scene every bit as good as some of the anal scenes. This is a very nice final scene for the movie.

Manuel Ferrara’s POV is a pretty hot POV movie. No, POV movies normally aren’t my thing as I don’t get much of a feeling of chemistry from them and I don’t like the limited camera work. That said, Manuel mixes things up a bit and adds some nice humor to his scenes to start them out right, and the setups normally build a little chemistry as well. His camera work isn’t always a strict POV view, which I like, and there appears to be a good reason for that given in the behind the scenes featurette. I think Trinity’s scene might be my favorite here, but I can’t say that there’s a bad scene in the entire movie. You get all of Manuel’s passion for his partners and plenty of dirty talk from his partners. Manuel Ferrara’s POV is a well done POV movie.

The Extra Stuff

The photo gallery lasts over five and a half minutes with roughly seven seconds per very nice looking snapshot. There’s also several featurettes, cumshot recaps, and weblinks.

The photo shoot lasts about seven minutes, and is actually set to music. It’s the typical simple photo shoot behind the scenes featurette where you get to see the girls pose for their stills while being given a little direction. This is simply the girls posing, with no time being given to them talking or interacting with the camera man. It’s nice eye candy, but that’s about it.

The strip tease lasts about thirteen and a half minutes, and is also set to music. Each girl, with the exception of Paola Rey who isn’t included, introduces themself and gives the camera a little tease. There’s a little stripping, but it’s more a collection of tease and masturbation sequencse than it is of strip teases. That said, it’s still a nice little featurette.

The behind the scenes featurette lasts about nineteen minutes. Sativa starts things out chatting briefly with Juan Cuba and having some fun with Manuel before Trinity shows off for Juan and his behind the scenes camera. She diddles herself, shows how she sucks cock on her fingers, and even lets Manuel come in and spank her great ass. There’s even a few words with Trinity after her scene before moving on to Paola both before and after her scene. Michelle B. is next, who talks about trying to work around Manuel’s injured back and only being around for a little bit. They have a few words with Michelle and a face full of spunk after the scene before Marie poses for a few stills and chats with Manuel behind the camera about butt love. It’s a nice behind the scenes featurette, and my only complaint about it can be that Barbara wasn’t included in it.

The Down -n- Dirty Sex Stuff

Themes: Straight, POV, tease, titty fucking, anal, interracial, masturbation, ass to mouth, swallowing, and rimming (female > male)

Raincoat Factor: Very high

Condom Usage: None

The Bottom Line:

Currently, many of Red Light District’s DVDs can be found online for between about $14 and $25, with several stores offering them in the $15 range. If you’re a fan of POV porn this one should be well worth the money. The sex is hot and well done and the technical aspects show some nice effort. There’s also some very nice effort put into the extras to help turn this into an all around nicely done DVD.

Note to Manuel Ferrara / Red Light District: It’s nice to see you putting such consistent effort into your movies. Thank you for doing so.
