Audio/Video:
There are multiple language tracks on this DVD, something you don't see on too many adult videos. You have the option of listening to the actors moan in English, French, German, Spanish, or Italian. If that wasn't enough, the film is subtitled in four other languages: Swedish, Danish, Portuguese, and one I couldn't decipher, "Svenska." Unfortunately, the English soundtrack didn't give you an English dub, just the original language. In only one case was that English. The upshot is that there isn't an English audio track. Not that it matters very much, but the DVD case does state that there is an English soundtrack.
As for the video quality, it was not very good. The picture was generally very soft, and in many daylight scenes the picture was too bright, washing out details. There were a couple of videotape tracking errors the quickly scrolled across the screen, and a good number of digital encoding errors. While these didn't stop me from enjoying the movie, it didn't help me either.
Body of Review:
Private has done something a little bit interesting. They have acquired the rights to some European adult short films, and strung them together on a DVD under the title Triple X. All of the clips on this compilation disc were filmed in the mid 1990's, so they are getting a little bit old, but sex doesn't age. It was interesting watching these because they style is a little bit different than what we are used to here in the States. The scenes are much shorter, and they try to make up a story to go along with the sex, even when the whole scene is only 10-15 minutes. The women are generally older looking, but their breasts are generally natural.
One warning about this DVD, though it's not a big one, is that these European shorts are not in English. They were filmed in several different languages, and in only one scene are the actors speaking English. It is not a huge detriment to the DVD, but it was a surprise. There are six sex scenes and one featurette on this DVD.
Concluding Words: While it was interesting seeing this slightly different take on porno, I can't say that it was a great. Only rarely did I think that the sex was hot, and it often left me cold. The women all went through the proper motions, but in most cases I didn't think they were really into it. The sex was just a little too mechanical. Unless you already know that you are a fan of European porno, I'd say Rent It. |
