Earthy, tough and very masculine ... although it never quite comes together in a meaningful way

Imagine a Jean Daniel Cadinot porn without the explicit sex...and chances are you have a pretty good idea of what sitting through this drama from Gael Morel is like.

Although graceful and dynamic, Three Dancing Slaves is none too substantial or original.
