Desertion
Cerisaye's
review:
A disappointing
and frustrating piece of arty gay erotica, featuring beautiful men with gorgeous
manly bodies striking a series of carefully choreographed poses against a stark
and stunning sand and sea background filmed in South Africa. There's a series
of set pieces featuring various combinations of men, but if you want raw passion,
real sensuality or emotion you won't find it here, despite the sizzling heat
of the location. Lots of writhing and grinding, ecstatic looks and some amazingly
discreet sex, but you never have the sense that the men are anything but extremely
good-looking models on a photo shoot. It all looks very pretty, with nice music
and no dialogue to interrupt the show, just these lovely men rolling around
in the sand or having erotic dreams that leave them limp as ever. Sigh.
