42 ans, Femme Infidèle

Pornographer Kendo, a British chap despite his exotic Eastern-sounding moniker made this Marc Dorcel at his studios back home in Blighty, with a mainly local cast. Title implies MILF action but the subject in this sequel to LUSTFUL HOUSEWIVES is also in the title, infidelity.

Though dialog is in English I found the whole thing confusing, to the point of rejecting its supposed narrative structure and just watching gonzo porn vignettes. As demonstrated in a "Making of" short subject included here, director Kendo is full of himself, a self-appointed genius (or should I say "visionary" in the currently meaningless state of cinema terminology), but has no feel for characterization, continuity or consistency.

The segments merely raise contradictions, mainly set in a bar, whose ownership, bartender, etc. are stated but then changed. Main personage of the title is handsome, mature British actress Franki, who we learn in an interview is fascinated with testicles (men's not beasts'). She humps well, does a d.p. or two adequately and is interesting to look at, but Kendo fails to erect even a minimal story for her to act in. Instead we have a series of mix and match sexual relations, reminiscent of classic porn where one assembles a cast and then specifies permutations of sex scenes (leaving out boy/boy -still a no-no in mainstream features) putting the available talent to work.

Kendo throws in a recurring theme of chess playing that is just as pointless here as in a gonzo lesbian opus from Budapest I watched recently, BUSTY EURO BABES. Underneath its fancy French title, Kendo's feature should be called "British Babes Hump", greater truth in marketing.

The women are attractive, particularly Liza del Sierra who also starred for Paul Thomas in Dorcel's L"AVOCATE. The British male cast deliver big or huge cocks, depending on your yardstick, and Kendo knows how to compose a shot. But aspiring to making feature "films", he's a no-talent.

I've seen another Kendo disaster shot for Dorcel, THE MADEMOISELLE'S STALLIONS: he manages to take a talented cast, decent budget and beautiful British locations and botch the whole thing -then take pride in his work in the Making Of short subject. This man is clueless.
