We Need To Score An Invite To Sasha Grey’s “Birthday Party”

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.
