Sexual Tension: Violetas

By: Suzi Nash
In-House Review - Jul 23 2013

Exploring the art of seduction between two women through six very different, incredibly sexy stories, Sexual Tension: Violetas is an assured lesbian classic in the making.

Imagine you drift off to on a hot summer day and begin to dream of women. These 6 stories from Argentina take you to that dream state as sexual tensions heighten and swell in the South American heat.

Sexual Tensions: Violetas is a series of six vignettes from Argentina. Reminiscent of early fantasy films like Ciara, these erotic tales offer unexpected twists and turns centering around sexual desire. Some are naughty, some are nice.

The stories include one about a journey to a youth hostel, where a missed train two guests to share a room; a shopper gets the personalized kind of service rarely found in retail; family ties get twisted; a passion for films brings out a passion between two women in the ladies room; and in a touching turn, two escorts follow the clients instructions and discover a different kind of intimacy.

Marco Berger returns with another series of short films in his sexual tensions series but this time he deals with women and again works with Marcelo Monaco. These are all about seduction. We see six shorts about women in different stages of both bonding, coming together and vulnerability and it is as if we are voyeurs watching both the taboo and sensational aspects of women connecting and uniting for sexual pleasure. Each story is different and very sexy. They are all from Argentina and we witness the heat that has always personified the Latina woman.
We go to a youth hostel where a butch woman ends up after missing her train and must find a place to spend the night. Another woman who is quite the flirt agrees to share her room and together they pass a passionate night together. Then there are two friends who have known each other for years cross a line they had never before considered. Another film is about female escorts who get to know each other sexually after spending the night with a male client. In yet another film, a shop assistant helps a woman who cannot decide which dress to buy. Girls begin to share passion while on a picnic. In another film, some women discover mutual attraction while discussing movies over lunch in a restaurant. We find ourselves in a world where men offer no competition and women call the shots. Finally there is the woman who lusts after her neighbor.
What I really love is the way tension is built in each of the films and we are never really sure if what we see actually ever happened or is simply fantasy and imagination. If I were too try to compare how these films are like their male counterparts in the other collection of the series, I would have to say that does so wonderfully. There is very little dialogue and the emphasis is on the action. There is a coyness that we see here at times and there is great passion that we see at other times. From embraces to actual sexual coupling, these shorts display the passion between women and sensuality is the key. We find ourselves being taken through the different stages of sexual tension and these films are dramatic and erotic, humorous and romantic. I highly recommend your having a look.
