Though made several years after the introduction of Viagra, CREOLA is a dumb drama about a guy who can't get it up. Lovely superstar Maria Bellucci saves it from oblivion with a sexy central performance.
David Perry, not the Italian porn director but rather the French porn performer, is the unlucky guy named Andrea. (For the English-dubbed version, with hokey British accents, he is Anglicized as Andrew.) His very beautiful blonde wife Elisa (Veronica Carso) just doesn't turn on, nor have the various prostitutes he's visited.
His best pal Roberto (Mike Foster) suggests they go on a 10-day holiday to Santo Domingo, first stop at his favorite whorehouse. While Roberto shtups Sonia (spectacular beauty Mandy Bright), Andrea is turned off by a lovely dancer, sulking away depressed.
However, once he's matched to prostitute Jasmine (Bellucci), he gets back his sea legs and humps her with aplomb, resulting in a money shot. That's porn for "I'm cured!", and at the end of the ten days he suggests that Jasmine return home with him to live as a maid.
Oddly enough, wife Elisa approves, and the trio live together. (Film is shot in Budapest -plus the Dominican Republic scenes - but this is not the specified locale.) Gimmick is that Jasmine gets Andrea worked up, similar to the function of a fluffer, and then sends him to wifey where he humps her good as new.
So besides cheating Pfizer out of its pound of flesh, film's novel cure for erectile dysfunction leads to half-hearted melodrama. Elisa's best friend "Lilyan" (I guess that matches up with Lucia in the official credits) is having trouble with her hubby Steve/Stefano, too, so Andrea sends Jasmine to live with them.
SPOILERS ALERT:
It's all downhill from there, as writer-director Steve Morelli botches most of the subsequent twists & turns of the narrative. Lilyan is angry at Jasmine coming between her and her husband, even though she's just trying (and succeeding in fact) to help. Elisa sends Jasmine to live with her aunt, but all we see is her getting booted out on the street -why Morelli didn't use this as an excuse for more sex/new cast members is beyond me.
She ends up as a streetwalker, and Elisa's former servant Paolo (Frank Gun) picks her up to service him and his callous buddy Riccardo (Alberto Rey), including a double penetration.
Though Paolo tells her he's always been in love with her since first seeing her at Andrea's house, film ends in a very cynical, almost nasty fashion. Paolo offers her money, which she throws in his face, and calls her a whore as she exits. Jasmine laments her fate, but life goes on.
Assuming the U.S. release title CREOLA is a play on Creole, the feature adds up to little but demonstrates how Maria's not merely a porn equivalent to the divine Monica Bellucci but is a talented XXX actress who can carry a film (video, actually).
