Kendo at his best
This is my favorite of many dozens (no, not 100 yet, but soon...) of Kendo videos I've watched and shows up his strengths rather than blunders for a change. Even the BTS short is self-deprecating -quite a revelation from a guy about as full of himself as Trump.
I have watched quite a few BTS shorts on Kendo DVDs which show the "before" and "after" look of color-graded shots enhanced in post-production, reminiscent of those side by side comparisons one sees on restoration projects where faded color is corrected in the lab for a reissue. For this feature Kendo decided to take a normally shot color film and release it in black & white, one of the many wise choices that produce a quality outcome. It is a rare occurrence to see a new XXX DVD in black & white.
Kendo is cameraman for the wonderfully dreamy Lisa Loves-helmed daring! media releases, and here she returns the favor by sharing the camera-person duties on one of his. Result is closer to her ethereal "soft" (but XXX, of course) approach than a typical Kendo-signed picture.
The five vignettes are shot outdoors at a magnificent villa located somewhere in Continental Europe, you know, the place from which Brits like the daring! team are attempting to extricate themselves. I bet no one has thought about the porno implications of that dumb recent plebiscite, as so much of Brit Porn is made in Spain, France, Hungary or Czech Republic.
All five vignettes, including the mandatory lesbian tryst, are romantic and arousing, with the B&W presentation emphasizing the purity of the work, as bill-boarded in the film's title. The third vignette is the only exception, wherein Kendo leave a single flower in pale yellow, the only color allowed on screen as in the tradition of the brief use of red in Spielberg's "Schindler's List".
Now before you start calling Mr. K 'the Spielberg of porn' (NOT), he still insists here on cropping his shots drastically, with some femmes' foreheads totally removed from view, especially in typical close-up blow jobs. But that is the only fault in a fine program.
My favorite segment is the second one, where an exotic femme (Cristina Bella), playing her porn pantomime largely with her eyes closed, services a guy with a spectacularly big dick: identified in the credits alternately as Evan Rochel or Rochelle. I wasn't surprised at all to discover that Evan has many Gay Porn credits under his belt, one co-starring with equally hung Ben Andrews.
