Russian Suburbs Of Fun Review

Studio: Brave
Date of Production: 05-05-1999

Before Viewing Expectations:
This is a Russian production, the first one for me. The case has minimal writeup in both English and Russian and is accompanied by a few thumbnail photos. The photos show some couple action and some group action. On the front, the men are covered with red stars, but on the back, everything hangs out uncensored.

The Main Event:
Once the dvd is placed in the player, the usual FBI warning and whatnot appear. Then there is a logo with a very high audio level. It sent me scurring for my remote before it hurt my ears or my speakers. After that, it jumps right into the movie, bypassing the main menu. The first scene is of a couple who start off with some tit worship. He starts to finger her then transitions into vaginal sex. During this, though, her hand is in the way so we can't see much of what is going on. They go to change positions, and he has to stroke himself a fair bit in order to get his erection back. She fingers herself for a bit and the scene abruptly ends with him cumming on her stomach manually. The lost erection killed the momentum of this scene and the abrubpt ending didn't help either.

The next scene starts with a couple into some heavy kissing and a bit of tit play. He starts to finger her while still kissing and soon is giving her some oral loving. He spends some time teasing her legs and stomach with his mouth before heading to the promised land. She returns the favor with a blow job and they soon transition into 69. Up to this point, he has yet to achieve an erection. She licks his balls while he sticks his nose into her pussy. Soon he starts jacking himself trying to get an erection. A second girl enters the scene, fingering herself while watching. She joins in, and the two women start kissing and caressing each other. The male just fades into the background then out of the scene entirely as the two girls finger and suck each other. I imagine this is because he never did get it up and was unable to perform. The women start to hump each other then get back to kissing and sucking. The scene ends with the two women kissing. What should have been a threesome turned into a twosone due to the lack of an erection. The two women did alright, but didn't seem overly confident in their actions, perhaps because they weren't prepared for this turn of events.

The quiet third scene starts with a couple kissing and a bit of tit play. He does a bit of teasing with his teeth before going down on her. Now she's getting a bit vocal and breaking the relative silence of this scene. Some more kissing is followed by a hand job and a blow job. Vaginal sex follows and ends with a vaginal/manual orgasm on her stomach.

The last scene starts off with two women and one male. He orals one while getting a hand job from the other. The two women start kissing when two more women join in. They form an oral train, with the male takes a ride through the love tunnel of the last female. Suddenly the camera is using a fish eye lens which is very odd and doesn't look very good. Soon they ditch the funky lens and are back to using a normal one. A second male joins in and things get swapped around quite a bit. Both males have to stroke themselves often, one to keep wood, the other still trying to get it. The one with an erecton cums manually on wone woman's stomach while the women get back into an oral train. A bit later, the guy who blew his load is up again and servicing one of the women. He loses his erection, so he starts kissing the woman. Just from kissing her, no other stimulation, he gets hard again, which may explain why kissing is very prominent in this movie. The other guy still can't get wood, even with three women sucking and stroking him. He tries to get himself hard but it appearently doesn't work as the camera cuts from the other couple having sex to him without an erection but with cum on one of the women's stomach. This ends the movie.

Audio, Video, and Extras:
For the most part, the audio was fine. The only items noteworthy is the high audio level compared to other movies, and even though this movie has an English soundtrack, some Russian still remains. The video wasn't bad, but isn't as sharp as some other movies I've seen. The lighting was poorly placed creating some shadows that masked some of the action or glared into the lens. The camera was a bit jittery and unsteady, a tripod would have helped here. And of all the movies I've seen, this one ranks near the top for the glitchiest layer change I've yet seen. I backed up a couple of times with the same result each time. Granted it only lasted a second or two, but I felt it noteworthy none the less. The only extra on the DVD is a bunch of previews, that once you select one, the rest auto play. The main menu is not animated, and only gives you two choices, play the movie or see the previews. There isn't even a chapter selection menu which I though was all but standard nowadays.

Conclusion:
This movie is different from the typical US produced porn. First, kissing is very prominent, giving it more of a "couple" intimacy rather than two detached people fucking. The guys, at least in this movie, were natural, no tell-tell incision scar down the middle of the scrotum. This could have been a better movie has the lack of erections not getting in the way of building the sexual energy. Some of the Russian movies shown in the previews appeared to have more going for it than this one, so I'd recommend someone interested in Russian porn to try one of those instead as this one is basically a flop.
