Featured review
Ground-breaking documentary launched an innovative Adult label
Very well-directed by Rena (the creative force behind Girlfriends Films at its outset 15 years ago), "Lesbians Uncovered" is a rare achievement - a real documentary with explicit sexual content. It's neither the sort of HBO crap that is called documentary but merely titillation to attract subscribers, nor the fake documentaries many pornographers crank out for a buck.
The first half of the film consists of four lesbian couples, plus a solo gal, telling us their stories: of coming out, finding each other and growing comfortable with the lesbian life style. They all seem like real people, not the actress-ringers one expects in such a XXX-rated exercise, and in fact none of them have other screen credits.
Their discussions are revealing and educational, giving us a window into a subculture which has been so frequently parodied and co-opted by the Adult Industry, let alone made the fodder of mainstream film and TV right up through glamorized hit series like Showtime's "The L Word". The content is consistently interesting, and catching it 15 years later I found it fresh and enlightening.
The girls go at it in the second half, not just a commercial necessity (especially for a fledgling porn label back at the turn of this century) but to show these real people having real sex. The cast comes in all shapes and sizes and ethnicities, and Rena can't be faulted for what she chose to include. The solo girl Dana is probably the sexiest, and closest to actual porn talent of the bunch.
With subject matter ranging from their family's attitudes toward their life choices, role-playing, toys, domination/submission, female ejaculation, etc., this is better than most mainstream docs and presented without an ax to grind. The label was soon to settle into a popular formula style (best exemplified in its series like "Women Seeking Women" or "Lesbian PsychoDramas") but more serious-minded fans would do well to watch this less prurient first edition too.
DVD also includes well over an hour of additional sex material featuring couples Nicole & Sandra, and Cristina & Nellie.
