Private Black Label 18: Desert Camp Sex Exchange Review

Reviewed by Rubber Squid  on  12/10/2002

Good cinematography in porn means bad sex. Maybe this is because the sex looses all spontaneity when they try to plan all the shots, or the film makers try a little too hard make their films look like actual films.

On the other hand, good cinematography is not always a bad thing, even in porn. You watch the porno film to get aroused, right? In this film you are treated to a lot of scenic views of landscapes, etc, and something which is lacking in a lot of films, a view of the ladies before they get undressed. All this enhances the arousal level. Not only that, the setup and composition of some of the shots is impressive. Sex against scenic background is a bit surreal.

But, the porn film has to be about the sex, because porn actors are not usually very good actors, and the sex here has that jump cut feel. The actors are mostly not all of film star looks, so what you want to see at least is some indication of real passion from them, not the kind of bored acting they show after probably being out there for hours shooting this thing.

Overall then the sex isn't so good, balancing the good (better than an average porn) cinematography. But, there are other details that you have to watch for (does the man in the first scene have a herpes sore on his dick?) that combine to make the DVD extras, especially the previews, actually better than the film itself.
