Tres elegante. That's about the best way you can sum up any of Blake's filmic essays on sex, texture, and fashion all done with a manicured edge sharp enough to slice hard cheese. They're high tech facsimiles of the dream state, a little contrived sometimes, but still, charmed particles in the quantum mechanics of adult film making. If you think House of Dreams or Night Trips are something else, with Hidden Obsessions, Blake touches chords he was merely fiddling around with in previous efforts. Someone had the good sense to cast Penthouse Pet Janine Lindemulder in the lead role. She delivers a masturbatory edge and partners-up in girl/girl sequences that definitely bring an earnestness to the party. Janine is an uncommonly great-looking filly and here she plays a mysterious woman who makes a living by writing sensuous stories for a collector of erotica. Janine's sensuous tale come to life as she writes, each of which has a visual impact equivalent to a left hook and a right cross. There are 16 scenes with resulting combinations of bodies that would confound a professor of finite mathematics. The most talked-about scene will be the ice dildo session between Janine and Julia Ann in which their respective orifices are introduced to the business end of the sculpted penis as its twinkling droplets evaporate against their seething skin. In a high tech bondage sequence co-starring Paula Price, Janine adopts the Betty Page look, and, in so doing, bears an uncanny resemblance to the queen of the pinups. Later, Janine and Kym Wilde engage in an anal bead session that's accompanied by soft, undulated jazz tones. Each sex scene is enforced by a strong sense of its own personality, identity and camera movement. We're involved, first from a curiosity standpoint, then, in a subtle turn of the screw, we're nailed as a repeat customer. Even with his style often imitated and circulated, Blake's vision never loses the capacity for creating awe and certain degree of astonishment. Count the number of times your jaw drops in Hidden Obsessions. Cast: Janine Lindemulder, Heather Hart, Julia Ann, Francesca Le, P.J.
