the impetus here is simp: hardcore pornography is an unexplored territory for me, and I am a cinephile after all
you know the joke is on me: I can talk about werewolves and guns and knives and time travel etc, but I can't talk about sex movies. so I want to fix that
this is an endeavor of mine
I began with Joe Sarno's
Vibrations, which I spoke of above. Vibrations is not a hardcore movie though, and Sarno wasn't even a fan hardcore movies, (he directed the r-rated
Deep Throat Part II btw)
therefore
Justine: 'A Matter of Innocence' was my first proper adult entry into hardcore films. like Justine, I was a virgin
I was worried about this: would the sex be too much for me to handle? would I end up whipping out my dick?
let us backtrack and remind ourselves: the golden age of porn was pre-vhs, it's a topic in boogie nights written/directed by
Paul Thomas Anderson, and the scenario is these are movies with sex in them, made to be shown in a movie theater
thankfully by the end of Justine I did not encounter a scenario in which I was unable to control myself. learning about sex scene closeups is a new experience for me, but it doesn't panic my penis
it is very much a normal movie with pretty terrible acting and a narrative so half-assed you wouldn't call it a first draft so much as an unfinished screenplay outlined with extrapolative dialogue
I fucking loved it, I'm so excited, and I didn't order enough of these
there's a scene where Justine plays a flute while her cousin has a threesome with two friends after smoking Colombian pot and while listening to rock music--Justine doesn't do that stuff because she's been in a boarding school with strict regulations, except her hermit father just died so she was sent to live with her uncle. the end credits scroll as she loses her virginity to her uncle. it happens after they spend the day together in the city, ride horses, and really begin to connect with each other in a beautiful human way
