The film adopts a quasi-documentary approach. Directed with a gritty, handheld realism, it follows Georgina (billed as the “first lady of erotic film”) through a series of sexual encounters.

Purists will appreciate that no aggressive DNR has been applied; it looks like a well-preserved grindhouse print, not a glossy modern remake. The film adopts a quasi-documentary approach
