The Pain
Game
"It's
not too often that we get a video at Blowfish that we're truly
and tremendously
excited about.
We get a fair number of videos that we like, ones we think are
pretty cool or pretty hot or pretty whatever, and we're perfectly
happy to have these in our catalog. But videos that we love,
videos that make us sit up straight in our chairs with our jaws
dropped and our eyes wide open, videos that make us want to personally
phone everyone on our mailing list to tell them that they have
to buy it right this second...well, we don't see too many of
those. So when we do see one, we like to make a bit of a fuss
about it.
"The Pain Game by Cleo
Dubois is one of these. It's magnificent. It's stunning. It's
powerful. It's just
about every superlative we can think of. It's one of the best
SM videos we've seen, ever. So we are therefore making a bit
of a fuss.
"Partly an informational and demonstration
video, and partly a purely "this stuff is amazing and fun
to watch" video, The Pain Game captures the feel, the emotion,
the sheer joy of SM play, better than almost any video we've
seen. The scenes are intense and authentic, with a strong, real,
loving connection between Cleo and her submissives (a handsome
older gentleman named Brad, and a striking younger woman called
Creed). There's some powerful and fascinating stuff going on
-- whipping, bondage, cock play, clothespins, and piercing --
and you get a good, clear look at all of it. But there's also
close and loving attention to faces and body language, giving
a vivid impression, not just of what's being done, but of how
it all feels. And Cleo's narration is intelligent, articulate,
and insightful.
"It's common for sex videos
to have either good production values or hot, wild sex, but not
both. The ones
with good, professional lighting and sound and camerawork are
often on the passionless side, with actors who are all too clearly
acting; and the passionate ones, the ones with performers who
are having a genuinely grand old time doing it on camera, often
look and sound like they were recorded in someone's basement
with a K mart camera. But not The Pain Game. The Pain Game has
both, the all-too-rare combination of professional quality and
passionate intensity. It's seriously well-made, with first-class
production values; a creative and expressive sound design, camerawork
that's interesting without being distracting, and music that
you might actually want to listen to. It's a complete and utter
pleasure to watch. If you have any interest at all in SM videos,
we think you'll be proud to have this one in your collection."
