Initiation of Clanddi

"Initiation of Clanddi" (which the subtitles more properly translate as supposed to be "Initiation by Clanddi") is my favorite of Marc Dorcel/Herve Bodilis features in recent years -taking their familiar format and pushing the eroticism to the max. I have long felt that house director Bodilis, after 100 plus assignments, was coasting -just handing in 90 to 120 minutes of footage rather than making interesting videos, but this is a magnificent exception.

The spotlight is on little-known actress Clanddi Jinkcego, a French star who I immediately put on my Must List, but who clearly has not caught on beyond Gallic borders. I like her overall look and personality, and those ultra-fake huge knockers, in the tradition of the all-time phony Lolo Ferrari. B. Skow for GIrlfriends Films has recently taken to advertising on his new DVDs an odd come-on "Big Fake Tits!", so there still is a specialty market out there for this aberration which has more recently succumbed to viewers' fondness for the natural look.

One sign that this is a bit different from assembly-line Dorcel releases is that only an original French-track version is available (plus optional subtitles). The lion's share of Dorcel videos in recent years are dubbed into various languages like English and German, or made with no dialog whatsoever. The direct-sound French track is oddly important in promoting "Initiation"'s erotic content, as Clanddi is styled as a petty (but wonderful!) dominatrix who not only gently gives orders that must be obeyed but delights in humiliating everyone around her.

Two major factors beyond Clanddi's presence herself contributing to the video's success are an intensity that goes beyond the mechanical sex one's accustomed to in a Dorcel project plus the clever sharing of the spotlight with other beauties. Chief among these is Dorcel's terrific blonde Jessie Volt, to my mind the most distinctive looking of hundreds of young blondes working in Adult Cinema today. She nearly steals the film away from Clanddi (but Bodilis wisely structures his series of vignettes so that Clanddi ends up the dominant image at the end, via a gang-bang with 4 humiliated studs). Her slave sequence with Clanddi and two hooded/masked big dick-guys is amazing and it is followed up by a super-sensual shower/sex scene of Jessie with Mike Angelo.

While Liza Del Sierra is magnificent as always, among the other supporting femmes I was struck by the severe beauty of platinum blonde servant Sabrina Sweet, who kept me in great erotic suspense until she put out in the later reels. The costumes including fetish gear and figure-accenting corset for Clanddi are amazing, and overall this is eroticism with an edge, one of the best non-story videos I've seen in ages.
