The Erotic Mirror is one of the better Surrender
Cinema offerings. It sports some lovely photography, eight
completely naked women, a little plot, and some comedy. At two
hours, it is also one of their longer films.
In the 20 minute long, nudity-free opening sequence,
a young couple comes back from the city to their home town to
vacation in her mother's house while mom is traveling. The entire
sequence is beautifully filmed in warm natural light aided by
filters, and a pleasant soft focus. The plot kicks in in earnest
when they stop off in an antique store, and she discovers a mirror
that makes her horny. Of course she has to buy it. The thing is, the
mirror doesn't make her want her husband, but rather herself and
other women.
The antique store owner supplies the back story for the mirror,
which belonged to the 100 year old plus madame of a local brothel
who was trapped in the mirror with her jewels when locals burned her
out. The better her orgasm, the more she sees the woman in the
mirror, and she starts involving her doctor, old school friends, and
finally a fortune teller in the sex to try and release the lady in
the mirror. If this sounds like a setup for the usual Seduction
Cinema women having the usual Seduction Cinema simulated sex with
each other, you have been paying attention to my other reviews.
The good photography and lighting continued after the opening
sequence. Night is designated using the standard blue tint, but not
nearly as darkly as usual. One of these changes to a daytime shot
with the same wonderful, warm, natural light as the opening
sequence. In some of the outdoor sex scenes, they even went to the
trouble of using a highlight light for the women's hair, just like a
standard portrait studio setup with five lights. The film concludes
with a seven girl orgy, and then a neat little surprise.
The film was too long for the plot and the similar sex scenes became
tedious, but the photography was very nice for a soft-core effort,
and eight completely naked women fondling each other certainly meets
genre expectations.
