I just noticed that Marc Dorcel has changed its name and logo some months back to just Dorcel - hope the old guy Marc hasn't shuffled off this mortal coil or been the victim of a family takeover.
"Bounds of Desire" is packaged just like any other Dorcel (see, I'm getting used to the abbreviated moniker in record time) release, but the contents are noticeably different. Instead of a bevy of Euro studs, only Bruce Venture and Tyler Nixon from Chatsworth show up for director Franck Vicomte/Frank Major; the picture was produced by a company from the US territory Marshall Islands (not France), a first in viewing for me; and most significantly there are no condoms used, first time I've seen that from distributor Marc Dorcel in well over a decade. Perhaps the safe-sex craze among (some) pornographers has ended.
The pre-credits list its production date as back in October 2015, so perhaps the 2017 release sat on the shelf awhile before the Dorcel organization contracted to distribute it. Whatever its history, the finished product available on DVD is poor.
The actresses Jessie Volt, Tiffany Doll and Gina Gerson are all Dorcel veterans, so releasing this junker was a natural -fooling folks like me into thinking it was the real thing and not a random pick-up. Dialog is in English, but as with most Dorcel post-production tinkering experiments, it's suppressed by overlay of music or just very low sound levels, deemed irrelevant.
So we get a non-story of lingerie fashion mogul Bruce Venture photographing his models and humping them, or watching male model Nixon humping them. Volt, one of Dorcel's greatest discoveries in recent years, has a scene or two of quality pantomime acting depicting her dismay and disillusionment at Venture's philandering, but that adds up to nothing. A TV press conference in which Venture tries to alibi his way out of a sex scandal is very badly performed by the big lug from Chatsworth, whose dialog delivery is embarrassing. He uses glasses as a prop to try and distract us from his usual Human Animal nature, unsuited for acting roles in an Adult Industry which pretty much abandoned acting/characterization/story before Venture arrived with his big, two- toned dick.
Dorcel stresses Sodomy in its marketing pitch on the DVD back liner, and I suppose that the novelty for fans of the label to see their favorite femmes go anal for the umpteenth time but this time bareback is perhaps all it has to offer.
