Based on your previous posts, I believe that interaction between the performers and an emphasis on chemistry is very important to you. I would guess that you would sense little of this from Bodilis' movies. I can understand how some viewers could find his scenes to be mechanical and cold; this is a common comment made about stylish European porn.
I know that Joey watches a lot of European porn (I don't), so he apparently does not feel this way about other European porn directors.

My attraction to Bodilis' movies stems from the women's appearance and attire. The women always look beautiful, are very nicely made up, and are typically wearing elegant lingerie and stockings. If it were easy to find this in American porn, I would not have any interest in his movies, especially considering their relatively high price and frequently poor lighting.

According to the box cover, the most recent volume of the Pornochic series appears to have been directed by someone else. I have not seen this volume.

He also directs a series called The Russian Institute; I have the first volume. It has the same strengths and weaknesses as his other movies, but makes a stronger attempt at telling a story.

There are several accurate and helpful reviews of his movies here at ADT.

I agree with Walter. While the girls are stuning to look at, you will not sense any chemistry in the movies.

AVN gave the volume starring Katsumi -- the one, I gather, from the new director -- a glowing review. Because I'm a huge Katsumi fan (she makes me huge ), my interest was piqued.

Walter -- You're right, chemistry is very important to me, and I tend to find most imported Euro porn to be cold (with notable exceptions, such as Christoph Clark's movies). Hopefully this non-Bodilis, Katsumi volume is "warmer" than past entries in the series.

Pagoda -- I'd love to hear your impressions of the Katsumi volume. If I can find the video to rent before you do, I'll give it a whirl and post my reactions.

I have volume 12 but have not watched it; I just scanned through it briefly a few moments ago. It has the typical strengths and shortcomings of movies directed by Bodilis.
He is so frustrating!

So while he has done gay photography and movies (some with Titof in them), he mentions having had girlfriends and is clearly influenced by the classic Dorcel style from the days of Ricaud, and I've also seen him perform in a Pierre Woodman movie...with a lady no less!

I think Walter's take is pretty spot on - I think his movies are well made, stylish and extremely easy on the eye. There's sometimes more chemistry and energy about the sex than is given credit, though I think this can depend as much on the male performers as anything else. I suspect Woodman's directorial approach also influences Bodilis to some degree in this regard.

Thanks for your help!

The entire series reminds me of the Leg Affair films. For example, in one of the films, Simony Diamond couldn't be any more delectably decked-out while she's getting ass-fucked, but the action takes place in a cold-looking, dark room on an office-type chair, as I recall. Too sterile, for my taste.

I seem to recall that in several of the movies one can actually see everytime the performers breath.
