Plot: Beast of Pleasure, as it is known here, is another one of the fine Roadshow Vibrant Video pics, that breathes style. A young guy, Gilbert, who I really liked, is going through a bit of hardship, with his frigid goody goody wife, and this as you'll see has been causing him much frustration. Thank god for Barbara, a loud, adventurous older woman, much more experienced, in the ways of sex and love, but mostly sex, who isn't 'fraid to experiment, and try many positions. Yes, this French woman's hot, and looks great in the raw. It wouldn't be much of a movie without her. She takes the much frustrated Gilbert under her wing, and fuels his denied sexual appetites, and caters to his whims, where she kind of toys and plays games with him, as it's her terms, as she's not always inclined for sexual interludes, where Gilbert becomes more obsessed. Of course, Barbara has a female friend, and also another male friend, so that means an awesome foursome, yes, and as Gilbert says "He's down for anything". The opposite contrasts between Gilbert and his unfulfilling wife really work, would you believe, for this film, where couples, married or not, could relate heavily, if the sparks aren't happening in their own relationship. It's quite well done in this arena of story, where poor Gilbert's justified in seeking his sex supply somewhere else. You don't have to be a genius to see how the story ends. You really have to praise these kind of adult movies (though I don't want to go overboard) as they can really surprise ya, where hating the continuing, revolving, and predictable path of story in porn, really makes you appreciate these kind of pics and so they should. Of course these films, are prior porn films, trimmed down, but I'm talking about normal trashy porn. Two things that suck about this kind of porn, repetition and bad acting. Again, not the case with this one. Beast Of Pleasure is a quite a sexy film, that's when ever, Barbara's in shot. Recommended view for adult lovers.
