Harcèlement sexuel

In the Dorcel stable, Pascal Lukas aka Luka is a talented director, but I found his relatively obscure feature "Sexual Harassment" a bit much. I went the extra mile -it's not available from legitimate U.S. sources so I had to send away to Germany, no less, to buy a copy.

Lovely Chloe Lacourt plays an h.r. lady sent to investigate a corporate big-shot played by veteran Pascal Saint-James, who's reliably suspected of harassing his femme workers. What transpires when she arrives mixes in all sorts of complications and genres (like farce, romance, drama and office politics) that overwhelm the straightforward storytelling one expected in the limited "story hole" designated beyond the requisite 90% explicit sex that eats up the running time.

Typical of Lucas's error in this project (revealed in his "Making of" confessional on the DVD as usual bonus) is a tacked on scene of Mike Angelo getting a blow-job on a stairway that is pure filler. The back- biting story line just isn't as interesting as Lucas would have you believe.

Through it all Lacourt impresses, whether acting or merely humping. The auteur is supremely sloppy in the big finale, where for fetishists she's wearing glasses (that old secretary/office fetish a la cults worshiping stewardesses or schoolgirls) but takes them off during sex, only to have them miraculously on her kisser (without proper continuity in the editing) to receive the expected facial.

The other gals look nice but are definitely from Dorcels B or C team, as this video lacks anything resembling star power (no Polina, no Kate, no Reve), perhaps guaranteeing its obscurity. Most of the actual humping is performed by a young guy named Josh, and comic relief is delivered by a hyperactive Phil Hollyday.
