****1/2 stars

Dorcel has been doing top flight, classy adult productions for over forty years with a tried and true formula that never gets old or tired. For the most part he uses the city of Paris as his main backdrop along with well written stories of love, passion, seduction and unbridled sex. Bu8t he also makes sure that he shows off the side if anger, deceit, infidelity and insecurities as well. This way Dorcel gives the viewer a totally all encompassing story to follow, and maybe even relate to. Add to all that Dorcel’s stable of excellent writers, directors and performers and it is a formula that has no limits as to where it can take the viewer with each new release. In this latest offering from Dorcel everything we mentioned is what makes this film another solid standout and one that couples will enjoy viewing together.

The film stars Mariska and Marcello Bravo as a long married couple. They love each other, respect each other, enjoy many things together, but as we see there is a big disconnect between them. Simply put, the flame has gone out of their marriage and there is little emotional, physical and sexual attraction taking place. So they decide to get away from the everyday hun drum and head off to Paris to hopefully reigini9te the passion they are missing. Let’s face it, what better place than the City of Love, Paris. But here director Bodilis uses Paris as a backdrop not as a focal point of showing all the usual touristy trappings in, and around, the city.

As the film gets underway you can feel the troubled energy6 between these two as they plan their getaway time. Even at the hotel when they arrive it all seems tense between them. However, once they are settled in the room there is only one thing on both their minds…….sex. They waste no time getting into it hot and heavy with Mariska taking the lead with an incredible display of oral talent you have to see to believe, damn! As they keep it going it becomes more intense, more passionate and more pleasurable. Even though these two are at a marital discourse, the sex is what keeps them together. Still, there is much they need and they know, but this is a good start.

With that session out of the way and both of them seemingly very pleasured and satisfied, Mariska takes it one step further. Through the hotel she has them send up a masseuse team. She figures this will please Marcello and help in there building of their relationship. Enter Clara Mia and Alex Romero who do their job, take a liking to the couple and ask them to join them at a club that evening for some social time. They agree, but later when they meet it is Mariska who wants Clara to seduce Marcello and Clara is all for it, but he resists the temptation. Of course Mariska wants to get with Alex but sees how marcello acts with Clara and put her ideas on hold. Sensing things will be a no go with them Clara and Alex connect with a friend, Lauren Walker and go off to have their own little threesome.  Watching this scene unfold Alex is well taken care of by both women and in turn he takes care of both ladies in a variety of positions but it is the reverse cowgirl he does with Lauren that is a big highlight of the scene. The visuals of this raucous scene and all the sex scenes are a treat for the eyes.

Marcello senses the whole night was a set up so he and Mariska have a long, deep talk about what they needed, want, miss and get it all out in the open. Once they do that they admit they would love to try other partners while building strength between them. At this point Marcello admits that he has fantasized about his wife with another man and Mariska says she’d love to play with Alex. So arrangements are made to get together with the, but with one little hook. Mariska and Alex will get it on, but Marcello will be listening and peeking from behind a closed door. These two are pure electric and with the added cuck theme making it even more explosive.

This encounter was so much of a turn on that once Alex leaves they tear into each other and get it on in a very passionate way. It is also during this taking place they also discover something between them that just might be the answer to why their relationship after all the years had become so toxic and listless. So they discuss it and decide to meet with a swinger couple and their friend (Clemence Audiard, James and Chloe Duval) who totally understand their story and are more than happy to get them involved into the swing world and what it all has in store for them. This final scene has it all going on with the five of them and once again while the action is steaming hot the visuals of all that takes place will have you glued to the screen. Once this introduction for Mariska and Marcello is taken care of and completes their vacation in Paris, a new beginning for the couple is about to take place.

Another knockout Dorcel production on every level. This is one that couples definitely need to get hold of and enjoy. You will have plenty of eye catching and breathless moments along the way, so be sure to add “The Price of Temptation” to your must watch list.
