Jose M[aria] Ponce.
The Nachoribas contingent gets a turn at this series.

Add:
Isha Paradise;
Bibian Norai.
Also features Belladonna [US] and [non-sex, as "the witch"]
Sara Bernat.
Szabina as Jazmin; Claudia 'Jameson'; Isha and Mandy, no
surnames.

Also non-sex:
"Mephisto's Girls"- Sandra G, Yolanda, Silvy Tron, Raquel,
Sanny. "The snake" [which appears to be a moderately-sized
specimen of Python reticulatus] is credited as 'Marilyn'.
There are AFAICT six girls in the opening sequence: the 'snake-
handler' [ring-tattoo, upper left arm]; a shoulder black-hair;
a shortish bobbed black-hair, a dusky ponytailed black-hair;
a cropped blonde with what look like identical large tattoos on
each collar-bone; and a blonde giving Nacho a BJ- the latter
could well be Mia Stone.
Five for five, then, assuming my guess is correct.....

In common with other several other contemporary Spanish
productions I found this quite hard to watch- the lighting is
quite harsh and tricksy- there are admirably clear bits and
then swathes where the colouring is just all wrong; the
editing is wildly choppy, and several scenes are so brief as
to be pointless. The sex, when you can work out who is doing
what and to whom [made difficult in no small part because of
the heavy make-up; I identified Szabina initially only by her
tits], isn't bad. It's this whole 'red' thing that needs to be
avoided... combined with the 'blue' bits there were times when
I thought I'd wandered into Kieslowski's masterpiece [but no;
the sex was more erotic in the latter, and the plot certainly
clearer]. Most of the time it was just the visual equivalent of
a mild headache; the film fails largely by its own pretensions.

1) Claudia C and Isha- brief les:

2) Mia Stone- bald b/g, and Mandy- b/g, +Franco Roccaforte/
Max Cortes . Extremely brief [does Ponce suffer from
ADD?]. Mia is fetchingly done-up with cat make-up; the daubs
painted on Mandy's face defy categorization:

Separated from the following by a brief photoshoot with
Claudia J and Ribas:

3) Szabina- brief b/g, +Nacho Vidal.
Followed by a very brief SM fantasy with Ribas and, in turn,
Mandy and Szabina:

4) Mia [bald], Mandy, Szabina and Sophie- les.
At 5 minutes, a positive marathon compared to the preceding,
and much better-shot; Szab and Mia look particularly edible:
[IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/busfkpi8zx3pzu58n8b0_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/g5pbh6uptpd4lvuqser0_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/nwa6tfdktun9u3pwom2q_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/fm6zalql525lpz1af76_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/ooronuasmeuu1ixkfms3_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/d76311lh1rdhr8zwkjed_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/rroc2nwn4maea3talrjb_thumb.jpg[/IMG];

5) Claudia C, Mandy and Szabina- all b/g, and Mia- bald
b/g, +Toni Ribas. A total waste of time; FIVE MINUTES for
a sex-scene where four girls get screwed? Allowing for the
intro each averaged about 10 seconds of penetration. To add
insult to injury much of the preliminary is shot with the
extremely irritating 'through a camcorder' technique:
[IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/j3655tk2qjrj7ay9poaq_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/g7shpd3ycv8bdaf7v1m8_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/qj0rohpdgnm94q7t08u_thumb.jpg[/IMG]

6) Isha- b/g, +NV.
A relative whopper, at eight minutes; and with few directorial
conceits therefore the best so far, abetted by my automatic
predisposition in Isha's favour.
Followed by some necromantic hokum featuring Sara [looking
amazing] incantating over TR's prone form; Mia, looking
appropriately angelic, and one of Mephisto's girls float around
in soft-focus background:
[IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/f8h4lw18yq9cnv3gvxnj_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/ur5qpb96gbw2wza1x4y_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/lcoqz1ooi5xrsvepess_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/c3xhd7pqoe7jekb334a_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/dlq3dywydj4wf9vuyk9n_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/0f1bwx0jycnjq48xf1kd_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/niooc07lcs5jsoxhlu_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/sjqy36w3s42z2rxvat6t_thumb.jpg[/IMG];

7) Belladonna- DP, +FR/Max Cortes.
Ponce seems to be settling down somewhat; still short by modern
standards, but all-action, and B is her usual frenetic self;

8) Sara, still waving her arms over Ribas, is joined by Belladonna.
Sara leaves, B is joined by Nacho and gets, briefly but watchably,
DP'd. Sophie appears at the end to finish off N orally;

Interlude: evdience of drug-induced pretentiousness in the porn
industry [and a nice one of Sophie]:
[IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/ir82qz7r0sy9e4na10q_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/1eq517lcshd8l8xw2r2_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/qnh32kbalprpmq6208i_thumb.jpg[/IMG].

9) Belladonna- b/g, and Claudia J- BJ, +Bobby [Robby] Blake
[shaven-headed here, but I think it's him] and [by elimination]
Jose Guderis. B especially looks fantastic here but the scene,
while well-shot, is again frustratingly brief:
[IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/4ddictryv48inhxh7i67_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/5mjs7txxv1h5lycnh86_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/l7pedzcoh5osj8uls2ct_thumb.jpg[/IMG]

10) Belladonna- masturbation.
My God, this girl's worth her fee- and then some;

11) Sophie- anal, +TR.
Not bad, but too short, and the soft-focus creeps in at times;

Interlude: weird goings-on at a torchlit beach. Female cast float
around mystically; two mermaids in long copper wigs [Sophie and
??Claudia J, going by that blemish on her cheek] fondle each
other [above-the-waist only, naturally]:
[IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/7z28a7oss73jn78vhel_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/dib726dxwn9lgjhb8i_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/9s6rzz1v0motne6vkhfb_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/rljh705mnjhjatqo34vp_thumb.jpg[/IMG].

12) Bibian and Rita- brief anals, Mandy- b/g, and Mia- bald
b/g, +NV/TR.
At last. Daylight, relatively trick-free photography and well
made-up girls. Far too short and lacks close-ups. What little
I saw of Mia looked breathtaking, and IMO Bibian is seriously
underrated:
[IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/399otu1jglq2t84i9pjr_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/ux9gnp25i0q0i39sl68e_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/qw506ov93hm6e6obusyc_thumb.jpg[/IMG];

13) Claudia J, as Mephisto's bride [nice lingerie]- b/g, +NV.
A chained-up TR is forced to watch his love's degradation;
Sophie finshes him orally. Blurred and miscoloured again, and
thus very much spoiled:
[IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/oupy78lzfkdbc5dn1m_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/qbluycwx3dm3b0ohgysv_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/bef47upkdc7k8xu6ucti_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/qh2h7arur8e0zz0dg2_thumb.jpg[/IMG].

At the end I feel more saddened than cheated or annoyed; there
was so, so much unrealised potential here. At around 100 min.
it's not exceptionally long for a flagship Private title, so if the
director had restrained his ego and pretensions considerably,
ditched the weird lighting and tricks, and lengthened the scenes
this could have been a classic, and still have come in comfortably
under the upper 140 min. bar. Mia and Belladonna, in particular,
are widely judged to have done their finest stuff with Nachoribas,
so they especially have been directorially ill-served here.

Oops- forgot.
These, from the photobook, add a little bit of light to
the above. The BTS itself is another waste of time- basically
Nachoribas deluding themselves that they're doing 'art' and
sucking-up to the director.

"Mephisto's Girls":
[IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/5x455f1y0e7749a01js5_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/aaxxehkel54cfw2fmpvm_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/cd1cncf6740ybh2kqhh_thumb.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.egafd.com/images/hosted/qsdams0oswoe89k8nb_thumb.jpg[/IMG].
The BJ blonde [cap 3, below Nacho's head] is NOT Mia- so I
now make it six girls, and only five names. Bugger..... can we
assume that "snake" in the credits is an elided from of "snake
girl" [and therefore Marilyn, as cap 1] and that the reptile
itself performed incognito?

Mandy and Bibian supplement their fees, as part-time furniture.
Nacho models his mum's dressing-gown, and Sophie literally
"hasn't got a thing to wear", hence the bin-liner:

Confirmation that the second mermaid [at least from the waist
up] is Claudia J. The bottom half seems to be a haddock, or
possibly a whiting:
