Here is a new movie about open relationships set in San Francisco and suitable for women and couples.
DESCRIPTION
Wander the Internet or your neighborhood and it’s clear: throughout our culture, much of what was true 20 years ago is not necessarily the case now. Our relationships, romantic and otherwise, are in many ways beginning to reflect these new realities. Set against the vivid, natural beauty of Northern California and San Francisco, Marriage 2.0 follows a couple (India Summer and Ryan Driller) on their search for personal freedom, emotional and sexual bliss within the context of an honest and committed modern relationship. What makes Marriage 2.0 a different kind of relationship movie is its frankness for all the pleasures of open relationships, jealousy and vulnerability do not magically disappear. This love letter to San Francisco – the cultural epicenter of the alternative relationship movement – suggests that the ideas of growth, novelty, and sexual adventure can exist within a millennial marriage. Marriage 2.0 tells a story both timely and universal.
REVIEW
“Marriage 2.0 follows the characters India and Eric (India Summer and Ryan Driller) as they try to open up their eight-year relationship. But India is struggling with her emotions, trying to not mind when Eric spends time with his lover, Kara (Dylan Ryan). A documentary filmmaker, India also is trying to make intellectual sense of polyamory and sexuality in her interviews with Sex at Dawn authors Chris Ryan and Cacilda Jetha (who play themselves).
It’s all very civilized until the three are brought together at a salon run by a prominent polyamorous couple—Meghan and Edward (Sadie Lune and Mickey Mod)—and India has to confront the intensity of Eric’s sexual connection with Kara. Of course, Sullivan’s plot ranks far above most adult scripts—but that’s not what really sets Marriage 2.0 apart and supports its producers’ demands for a seat at the indie filmmakers’ table.
It’s also a rich sensual experience. India’s apartment is a riot of colors and sounds as Eric makes her dinner: bright Fiestaware on the shelves, boiling water on the stove, naturalistic lighting captured by director of photography Alex Ladd. When the tip of Driller’s cock first pops out of his pants, it’s both arousing and shocking—like when you get a glimpse of full nudity in a mainstream movie. And the difference also comes from the way the sex is shot, especially in the opening scene. We experience the particularity of India and Eric’s bodies—the freckles on her shoulders, the tattoos on his arms, the hair on their flesh, the way her bush grinds slowly against his cock. And just as prominent are the curtains moving in the gentle wind. It all conspires to create a moment of naked intimacy.
Also refreshing is the way we’re allowed to break out of the bedroom and delight in the beauty of San Francisco, Berkeley, Sausalito and Tomales Bay and enjoy the sounds of waves, birds and wind. The sensory stimulation continues throughout, intensifying a large group meal at a restaurant as well as the sexual liaisons afterward: a threesome, an orgy and an intense bondage scene between Kara and a dom (roguishly handsome Christian Wilde).
And throughout, Deeb’s musical score underlines emotions without overstatement. On top of the gorgeous cinematography and the parade of sexual trysts in interesting configurations, Marriage 2.0 also offers its audience the fun of recognizing various well-known figures in the adult industry. Nina Hartley plays India’s randy mother, who’s getting a very deep tissue massage. (“Tony’s not a lover. He’s more of a self-guided dildo,” she says of her masseur.) And there are various sexperts on hand in non-sex roles, including Carol Queen, Emily Morse and Reid Mihalko. They all lend a hand in helping India and Eric along on their sexual journey. As Edward tells her, “The path to honesty is paved with lies—and forgiveness.” To the credit of all involved, there’s much more honesty here than in the vast majority of movies about adult relationships—both the R-rated and the X-rated variety. At present the movie is available only on Gamelink.com and AdamandEveTV.com.” —Iris Brooks, AVN.com
Some of my sexpert friends are in this movie and I can’t wait to see Carol Queen, Reid Mihalko and Emily Morse in this film.
Normally I don’t write about porn because I really don’t watch much of it and can’t add much value. But THIS is a movie I can’t wait to see because it reflects the leading edge of open or polyamorous “mainstream” culture. More and more couples are experimenting with open relationships.
In discovering this movie, I also found out that Adam & Eve TV has adult movies on demand that are very women-oriented.
If you have been wanting a Netflix for porn that you can watch as a woman or couple, Adam & Eve TV might be something you want to try out.
And they also have episodic shows — over 400 episodes! That oughta keep you two in bed and turned on! Hee. Hee.
