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

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.
