Rosa (2012)

I've been catching up lately on British-made porn, covering the major sources at daring! Media, Harmony Films and Bluebird Films. An earlier label, Joy Bear, has some interesting pictures worth reviewing, but suffers from a preference for issuing them without credits (ordinarily the sign of crap someone's ashamed of releasing).

ROSA is minus credits but a quality XXX film. Angell Summers, a young French beauty I had previously encountered as ingénue on lesbian videos, stars in the title role, a shy youngster in London typing (old-fashioned way) her sexy book based on sexual fantasies she concocts. For porn purposes, we see these all visualized, some of them happening to her. I suppose they would all feature her if not for the pornographer (one "Diamond Bois") knowing the audience wants some variety.

Situations are relatively mundane, but the casting is near-perfect and the performance of the sex couplings consistently arousing. Well-shot this is assembly-line storyline porn to a T.

Among the who's who of talent employed, Rebecca More and Cathy Heaven are standouts, which is high praise considering the caliber here -all big names in the field (besides Summers, Megan Coxxx and Samantha Bentley). As a matter of fact, if one submitted this cast list and asked: "who will receive the principal role?", it would be a toss-up, Summers excluded.

Like most of the British product, this one is registered abroad, with the DVDs directing one to records held in Holland (as does daring! Media). Whether this is some sort of tax dodge or censorship avoidance mechanism, these videos are strictly British in content.
