Unusual viewpoint from unusual filmmaking team
lor_2 April 2015
The De Neuve (or Nueve) Sisters, with various first names displayed, represent an extremely obscure group of pornographers hailing from Frisco. So obscure they could be men (or a man), as Loretta Sterling proudly is. But with LACEY BODINE, LITTLE ANGEL PUSS and MORE THAN A VOYEUR the team proves to be talented.

The other two films memorably starred Joan Devlon, while VOYEUR is a no-name project. It tells the story of a nondescript guy in shades who takes voyeurism over the line into territory where you'd expect Maggie Q to be called in to make an arrest.

He gets his kicks spying on heterosexual couples, getting off vicariously on their lovemaking by just watching. Presented seriously, from his point-of-view (with both a male first-person and female narrator alternating in commentary over silent MOS footage) the film is perhaps unique in encapsulating the porn fan's experience. To an even greater degree in 1973 than now the porn consumer is a male watching couples having sex and getting turned on. That's exactly who is depicted fictionally here, and the hobby (or compulsion) is presented as being fine & dandy.

The sex scenes are artistically photographed, using locations and back lighting credited to "The De Nueve Sisters" with Christine De Nueve getting director credit. On other films they are identified as Renee and Danielle. Locations vary from an apartment with convenient picture window (for our hero's binoculars to peer through), a field, the beach and a rocky hilltop.

Content is rather strong for 1973, including anal sex and one pretty actress fisting herself after her partner's money shot. Film ends with our stand-in protagonist entering into a fantasy world of his own creation, having sex with an angelic Lady in White (not so angelic when it comes to fisting, however).

It's obscurity ensured by being buried on one of Something Weird's Dragon Art Theater 2-fer DVDs, MORE THAN A VOYEUR is not a great film but is a fascinating one. Rather than trolling the entertainment waters for crap (the current craze of exalting "so bad it's good clunkers) I love finding outré or merely contrarian films and videos like this one.
