Who Knew Porn Could Be So Smart?, 25 May 2002
8/10
Author: vivalarsx from Portland, Oregon

This movie kept getting recommended to me by a wide variety of people, and I was finally intrigued enough to rent it. Very surprising! The plot is clever, the sex mostly bizarre (I can't imagine anyone finding the sex erotic, and not just because it's straight sex and I'm gay--it seems not intended to excite), and I've never seen anything approaching the quality of performances since the the days of Veronica Hart. The plot is well-discussed in the other reviews posted here, so I'll save everyone the trouble of reading it again. But what makes this movie so intelligent is the combination of lust and anguish that permeates the proceedings. The sex negatives are a despairing masochistic bunch--why sit and watch what you frustratingly can no longer do?! And I especially like that Lana pretends to be a sex negative in order to live as she likes and remain w/ the man she truly loves. I found her quiet masturbation scene about 3/4 of the way through truly sad--as I think it was meant to be; there was something pitiful about hiding out and touching oneself while fearful of getting caught. I was most impressed and have in turn recommended this odd little movie to others.
