You know how most porn scenes have a section of stripping, dancing, and rubbing right before the actual sex? That's the tease. This is what a tease would look like if Lars Von Trier directed porn.
Ok, that's a bit dramatic, this is nowhere near "Antichrist" or even "Breaking the Waves." Nonetheless, the masturbating and nipple tweaking eventually turn into spitting, gagging, and straight-up vomiting out a window, all conducted by a model (Alyona) who looks less than stoked about her place, and the discomfort crescendos pretty palpably by the end. There's still something beautiful about this film, and we're not just talking about Alyona; we can't put our finger on it, but maybe we're being held back by our porny vantage point. This has to be a critique of porn, right?
