DVD Reviews of Roxanna

DVD Review: Roxanna then and now, two impressive erotic films
Summary: 5 Stars

Misty Mundae is the new and improved version of Roxanna in the 2002 re-make. The film is built around the framework of the original, especially in terms of the music and the haunting images of a young woman descending into a pit of self-induced despair, but at the same time it is a completely different take on the subject at hand. Where the first film featured no dialogue apart from the commentary of an off-screen narrator, Misty's Roxanna features plenty of vocalization. Having already become a drug addict, Roxanna has her first lesbian experience with a young lady (played by the amazing Katie Jordan) at the behest of the man she is living with. Roxanna enjoys the experience immensely, and she soon has yet another addiction to add to her list of problems. Darian Caine and Barbara Joyce fill the roles of Roxanna's new lovers quite well indeed, but eventually Roxanna's cravings become uncontrollable, leading to an ending that, while far different from that of the original film, works quite nicely.

These aren't long movies: the original film is 51 minutes long, while the Misty remake comes in at some 37 minutes. The DVD includes a seven and a half minute interview with "42nd Street Pete," 1970s erotica expert (who gives the 2002 version of Roxanna a definite thumbs up), a short film called Despair, and trailers to additional Retro titles. Seduction Cinema has released some pretty bad movies in its time, but the new version of Roxanna is not one of them - this is an impressive, serious, weighty film. The fact that it features my favorite Seduction Cinema threesome of Misty Mundae, Katie Jordan, and Darian Caine, makes a great thing even better. Roxanna, in both of its forms, represents erotica at its very best.
