We are at Lasse Braun’s studio in Breda, Netherlands, during the shooting of the sex scenes in the loop Close-Up. LB decides to try something unusual: a double anal penetration scene. Brigitte Maier’s loose sphincter that enables her to do the anal scenes comfortably without lube is ideal, but the main problem is that Nico Tierlier and Willy Braque can’t get an erection at the same time. Braque, especially, seems to have some adaptation problems. When the fluffer comes to help, he forgets about the shoot and starts to fondle and kiss her. LB constantly courts Brigitte, hugging and kissing his "protegée". After many attempts, the most successful of which doesn’t last more than a few seconds, they start to shoot the regular anal scene as scheduled. At a break, performers are served a joint. LB jokingly intimidates Braque with informing the Parisian police for his pornography and drug abuse activities in the Netherlands. He then turns to the camera, calling the French authorities "idiots" and producing the aphorism "Porn and drug is beautiful". Tierlier gets pretty stoned and begins doing funny things, much to the amusement of the ladies in the crew.
"I would rate this French film as the hottest foreign entry ever made. Lasse Braun is in the Alex de Renzy mould, an eccentric genius who shoots masterful sex films when in top form.
"Brigitte Maier plays prissy miss Margaret from Minnesota and Veronique Monet is her new French friend made on the cross-Channel ferry en route from London to Amsterdam. Trixi Heinen is the shopowner, Eva Chang the exotic foreign model. The lesbian sex in this film is in a different league to the routine obligatory American-made scenes that have lost their subtlety and electricity. By contrast, Sensations is so sumptuous that sex becomes an art form. And the art world is where the film climaxes – at a posh cocktail party/review where Braun pulls out all the stops in the sexually unusual (even grotesque) orgy.
"Tuppy Owens (a world-famous British publisher/renaissance woman with a global following, a version of Gloria Leonard) appears as Lady Pamela.
"The final scene is the most indicative of the film’s constant eroticism: when everyone is finished and spent, nothing but the wails of remain. Sensations is not to be missed.
