Sasha Grey, Can You Call It "Perversion" If Everyone Likes It?

Ottimo Massimo — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 18:00:00 EST

Or maybe calling her movie a "perversion" is a way of declaring her intent to revolutionize fuck films. After all you can't spell perversion without "revise porn."

The Perversion

Studio: Grey Art
Directors: Sasha Grey and Oren Cohen
Cast: Sasha Grey, Evie Dellatoso, Kiera King, Sindee Jennings, Faye Reagan, Nikki Rhodes, Tommy Gunn, Nick Manning, Dane Cross

Like "The Birthday Party," "The Perversion" balances hardcore with high art; not only is it satisfying to watch, but it gives you something to talk about around the water cooler with, you know, the co-workers who understand you. The movie is described as an exploration of "artistic metaphors of domination and submission," although it's hard to divide the symbols and metaphors from the literal demonstrations of sexual control. But whatever, Sasha Grey wears a cape and looks fucking fantastic.

We probably don't need to tell you how great the sex is, but some things deserve mention. As previously showcased, Dane Cross and Faye Reagan dominate Sindee Jennings through a bizarre mix of camaraderie and exclusion. At one point, they Eiffel Tower her (that is, they join hands as Sindee is fucked by Dane and eats out Faye) with such romance and passion that it almost strips that position of its frat house connotations.

One of the most surprising things about "The Perversion" is how much we enjoyed Nick Manning in his scene with Tommy Gunn and Kiera King. In this vignette, you see Kiera lying on the ground, wearing a leash, and lapping up the puddle of booze spilled on the floor. While the music is still going, Nick and Tommy lumber their enormous frames into the scene, pick Kiera up, and fuck her. All this is standard.

But when the music stops, Nick Manning comes off as a crazed, three-dicked Cerberus barking orders to GAG ON THAT COCK (emphasis his), and yet it somehow fits! Honestly. It's especially menacing juxtaposed with Tommy Gunn's cool, silent, and vicious demeanor.

Seeing Sasha master the women around her is always refreshing, and it's in her scenes with Evie Dellatoso and Nikki Rhodes that the metaphors of domination clearly come across. For example, while pushing around Nikki, she keeps black tape over her nipples. This effectively denies the viewer the full image of her breast; Sasha dominates the imagery.

And dominate she should. Now that Grey Art is pumping out films, she can feel free to show us whatever she'd like.

Sasha Grey On Grey Art

Lux Alptraum — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:00:00 EDT

We Need To Score An Invite To Sasha Grey's "Birthday Party"

Lux Alptraum — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:00:00 EDT

During her three years in the adult industry, we've seen Sasha Grey portray everything from a sex-crazed Vulcan to a first time ballbuster—and we've often wondered what kind of porn Sasha would create if she were in charge.

What turns on a woman who counts "Pierrot le Fou" and "Strzosek" amongst her favorite films? Would Sasha Grey's arty taste in film affect her style of porn movie direction? With the release of "The Birthday Party"—Grey Art's inaugural film—we can finally find out.

Studio: Grey Art
Director: Sasha Grey and Oren Cohen
Cast: Sasha Grey, Jana Jordan, Alyssa Reece, Madelyn Marie, Jessica Bangkok, Chris Johnson

Even before you open the box, it's clear that "The Birthday Party" is not your ordinary porn film. The black case is not adorned with any naughty bits or hardcore action—just the upper left section of Sasha's face, gagged with a bandana and wearing a paper tiara (with a birthday candle thrown in for extra fun). The most prominent detail on the box cover is, in fact, Sasha's name, which is displayed in big block letters on the cover and spine.

But one shouldn't judge a book—or porn DVD—by its cover, so we do urge you to crack open the case and experience what lies inside. Sasha's film is, as one would expect, more on the arty side of the spectrum (closer to a Carlos Batts or Eon McKai than a Will Ryder or Robby D); but she makes sure not to sacrifice action for art. The sex scenes are passionate, intense, and, yes, dirty (this is Sasha Grey, after all)—beneath all the fancy camera angles and low lighting is some very hot sex.

One of our favorite moments in the film comes at the very beginning. Sasha sits in a chair, wearing her birthday best, with a bandana gagging her mouth and a cupcake in her hands. Still gagged, Sasha attempts to lick frosting from the cake, making a mess of herself—and her gag—in the process; she's then joined by Chris Johnson, who unties her gag and feeds her the cupcake (and then, you know, they do it). It's a wonderful, sensual moment, one that continues far longer than you might expect. Sasha's willingness to stick with the sensual, and not just rush into the hardcore action, is promising.

We expected great things from Sasha and Grey Art—and "The Birthday Party" does not disappoint.

Sasha Grey: Pornstar, Actress, Musician, Model... And Producer/Director

Lux Alptraum — Wed, 06 May 2009 13:00:00 EDT

Well, add another feather to Sasha Grey's cap: America's Favorite Fuck Junkie and Oren Cohen have teamed up to launch their very own adult film production company, Grey Art.

Their first release, The Fuck Junkie, will release domestically this summer. In addition to being Grey Art's inaugural production, it's also Sasha's directorial debut (and given that Sasha is, ahem, America's Favorite Fuck Junkie, we can only imagine that she'll be the film's star as well).

We're thrilled to see Sasha expanding her influence to other aspects of adult production. It goes without saying that we've loved seeing what she can do on camera—we can't wait to see how she reinvents and reshapes adult entertainment from behind the camera, as well.
