I personally think Pierre Woodman will go down in history as a legend.

I’d start with the basic breakdown of this flick, but in all honesty? I can’t really contain the excitement about the last scene. Deflowering scenes are always hot, but a deflowering by Woodman? It’s like Miles Davis breaking in a trumpet, and god what a beautiful trumpet too. Even if this whole DVD had only that one scene, I’d probably still recommend it. It’s like 0.5 points all by itself.

The novelty of this movie/series is that Woodman shows you footage of that initial interview, and then we cut to a scene that he later casted the girl in. A major drawback the sharper ones may have noticed is that this means you aren’t really buying original fuck footage. The casting shoots are all new releases, but many of the sex scenes are basically excerpts from other Hustler movies. Not all are straight excerpts however; a couple are behind the scenes versions of a particular shoot where you see the cameramen and everything. This may be well calculated though, since if you’re here chance are you are a little interested in the porn producing process in general.

Each interview obviously gives you a sense for the personality of each girl and how their attitudes develop as their involvement deepens; I’ve always thought this to be a fascinating aspect of the business, and it’s obviously the series’ primary sales spin.

Most of the interviews have an element of awkwardness you’d expect from a genuine amateur getting started. This is often compounded by linguistic difficulties, sometimes quite serious. As if he hasn’t impressed me enough though, it appears Woodman has gotten an elementary grasp of Russian from all his casting work; he adds this to English and French and uses translators for most all else.

Nonetheless, there’s a serious issue surrounding clarity. Two interviews employ subtitles, which were the easiest to understand, but it was irritatingly difficult to hear either the girl or the translator in the other five. One interview was in only French and Hungarian, making it completely incomprehensible.

Woodman starts with the standard questions about age and occupation, and then bit by bit goes on to ask about sex lives, fantasies, preferences, and how far they’d go on camera. Most of these girls are a little bashful to begin with, expressing a little bit of coyness appropriate to girls starting out in porn.

In their actual scenes however, some of the shyest prove to be the most earth-shattering, Woodmanesque of them all! If you’ve never read what I’ve repeatedly said about Woodman and his girls, Woodmanesque means the most excited, enthusiastic performers in the business putting on the ultimate show in energy and ecstasy; levels unmatched in the realm of hardcore fucking. We’re talking screaming, unprecedented vigor, and a whole lot else.

Needless to say, it’s a thrill to watch them go from shy girl on the couch to mountain lion in bed. Not all of the girls pull it off; girl #3, the Hungarian Cecilia is a little tamer than most Woodman girls, but she makes up for it by being pretty handy with a dildo, making every position a DP with just one guy.

For the final scene, Woodman himself is the man of the hour. This man is a master – he looks like a regular Joe: bald, and a hairy body that could spare a few pounds – but he is one of the most artful fucking machines I have ever seen, and it takes a lot for me to notice a male performer. He masterfully coaxes Yasmine bit by bit until he’s straddling her, and then it’s all systems go.

It’ll frankly take too long to provide a truly worthy description of the intense rollicking rumble and tumble that follows; for now I’ll just say this: red hot and sexy as all fuck. I remind you, I go through a lot of pornos, and when I say something is exceptional...

A few more “secrets” should be let out too – the first come shot finds Yasmine taken by surprise and a little aghast; Mr. Woodman is all apologetic and charming as they sit face to face naked and cross legged after the affair. I’d say only he could turn a shock into what happens next. Right after her first fuck, Yasmine is slowly cajoled and fingered into her first anal. Gentlemen, if you’re at all straight, yanking and don’t blow your load until the end of this entire affair, that’s perhaps your cue to join the industry too. That shit will wear your ass out.

Buy it for Yasmine (and if you want more, XXX #20 is also reviewed on this site). I don’t know of that many things in the world that is as reusable as that footage. CastingCouch#1 Rock on Pierre!
