Adult DVDs can be described by many names. Sexy, sleazy, dirty and perverse are a few names that can be used to describe adult films. Boring is one word that shouldn’t be used. Unfortunately, boring is the precise word to describe Naked Red Lips.
The big problem with Naked Red Lips is that it tries hard to be erotic. Rather than embrace its down-and-dirty nature it adds in elements from soft-core porn, like slow-motion and fade-away shots to create a dream-like atmosphere. Director Santino Ferrari fails in making this work. Such tactics can work on a good soft-core like Showtime’s Red Shoe Diaries, but in a hardcore film, it’s out of place and distracting to someone who just wants to beat their meat.
On the DVD box, Naked Red Lips is described as a “sensual, musically driven journey.” The musical score just sounds like typical porn instrumentals combined with some new age elements. The end result is needless to say really, really annoying. What is really just five random scenes gets strung together by a female narrator who is filmed in black and white laying on her couch typing an e-mail to a girlfriend. These scenes are devoid of anything remotely arousing. The narrator writes to her girlfriend about the sexual exploits of her other friends.
To make things more confusing, random sound effects are thrown in that don’t match the action. One scene has a woman masturbating amid sounds of whips snapping when no whips are actually shown. Another scene has a girl modeling clothes for her girlfriend while we hear the sound of an unseen camera taking pictures. Then there are the sounds of people fucking that don’t seem to be the ones on camera. What the hell is going on here?
As for the sex, the performers are pretty competent. Plenty of masturbation scenes, a couple of money shots, some decent blowjobs and one anal scene. Nothing really all that special, but then this was supposed to be erotic and double penetration and bukkake aren't exactly erotic. It’s no fault on the performers that the sex scenes fall flat. They do a fine job fucking, but Ferrari’s insistence on pulling out all the cliché soft-core tricks takes away from the action. The music puts you to sleep, the slow-motion and super-imposed shots prove to be too confusing, and the scenes featuring the narrator are so irritating that it makes you just want to toss the DVD. Sure you can masturbate to this DVD, but then you can masturbate to the Victoria’s Secret catalogue.
Naked Red Lips is an attempt to break into the so-called “eroticore” movement in adult entertainment. The merging of more erotic elements in hardcore porn is a move that I applaud. Hopefully, other entries in this new genre will learn from the mistakes of this particular film. NakedRedLips
