Product: Intimate Desire [VHS]
Rating: 2.0
Disappointing follow-up to Lady in Heat.
A few years ago there was a HK movie called Lady in Heat that became a hit- why? Mainly due to the lesbian scenes involving Penthouse HK star Miho Nomoto and Rebecca Chang (spelled Rebeca on the box, not sure which is correct). Because of this, a "photo album" of sorts was whipped up starring both Nomoto and Chang.The packaging of this video just screams "hey! lesbian content!", peppered with shots from the Lady in Heat scenes. I got this specifically because I liked Lady in Heat, and there were vignettes within the film that indicated there were more scenes that hadn't been used.Unfortunately, they aren't in here. This is a series of vignettes illustrating photo shoots and the like, with the girls mostly apart. When they're together, they're very posed and still- not interacting, and really not doing anything sensual. It does explain away some of the "glamour" shots that were used on the promo postcards included with the HK DVD release of LiH.The few lesbian scenes in this are shots from Lady in Heat, and are cut up; nothing new for the LiH fan, and too incomplete to be of much use for the lesbian-scene fan.Overall a very soft-focus lingering look at both Miho and Rebecca, like something from the early Playboy videos- very tame- in fact, nothing below the waist is ever shown. Worth it for the Miho fan (of which there are a few.) Might also create a few Rebecca fans- she's really cute and it *is* nice to have a bit more with her, even if it's just topless cavorting.Other miscellaneous complaints: The mastering of the video leaves something to be desired; the scenes where Miho's standing in front of venetian blinds and the camera goes in or out glitches quite a bit. The promo postcards present in the HK release aren't included here. The nave-voiced narration is hard to hear over the cheesy synth music, and when it can be heard, is incredibly banal. The quality is basically that of a higher-quality camcorder, which makes the cuts to the film-based Lady in Heat clips jarring.
