Wednesday, November 28, 2007DEAR PILLOWClose to his 18th birthday and living in a tiny apartment with his divorced Dad, Wes is tortured by his virginity. After getting fired for beating off at work, he befriends Dusty, an older neighbor who writes for porn mag Dear Pillow. (Sorry dude, those letters aren’t real.) Becoming an earnest writer himself and avid listener of other peoples’ sex phone calls, Wes partners up with Dusty and gets into the nasty world. Eventually the two start hanging out with the sexy apartment manager Lorna, and things get seedy, perhaps too fast for Wes. Pillow has minimal production elements, no flash, just story. It excels in the tone and acting, with great realistic touches by cast members Rusty Kelley, Gary Chason and Viviane Vives. All bring their roles to life in a smart script by writer/director Bryan Poyser. So when the real and porn worlds start to clash, the plot stays believable. You start to feel like you are intruding into their conversations. The faraway porn world could be just next door. Thankfully it never reaches sensationalism. Whether that’s good or bad for you, its best for the film. DVD has cool extras, with deleted scenes, audition tapes, commentary by Poyser and producer/cinematographer/editor Jacob Vaughan and the actors, and two solid short films by Poyser, Grammy’s (2007) and Pleasureland (2001). Released by Heretic Films, $19.95. Labels: load play Comments (0) |
