   Art porn. Nicely shot with some striking images, but still art porn. The one thing I really liked about this movie was a section of one of the women walking through an abandoned, run down house. The constant repetition of act felt like a comment on porn in general - one action, constantly repeated.
   
   An odd thing was the explicitness of the opening gay scene in contrast with all the others. I'd chalk this up to the difficultly in shooting lesbian porn but the lighting of the lesbian scene seemed to hide things in a way the brightness of the gay scene did not. Similarly, the straight scene was mostly shot from a distance.
   
   

   The ending was predictable and pretentious. After a title card reading "Narrative is a bourgeois mania" the Aristocrat character has the one and only cum shot directly onto the lens of the camera. Given the aggressive pointless of the film, it naturally follows that the last eigh minutes of the film consist of a black screen and white noise and no end titles.
