Sex/Erotica for Women: Candida Royalle's Christine's Secret DVD
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend An attractive, yet sexually frustrated woman takes refuge on a secluded country estate. As love blooms all around her, she remains alone, with her dream man fixed in her mind. Then he appears and takes her on an unforgettable journey of sexual fantasy. Explicit love scenes are integrated beautifully. Bodies touch, heat emanates from goose-pimpled flesh, eyes meet, slow undulating moves, teasing kisses. A thrill to watch!

- Might Want To Let Christine Keep Her Secret
- I'd agree with most of Michael's comments below, but I thought the biggest (and best-kept) secret was "What is the plot?". Neither my wife nor I realized what the plot was until reading his review. Too much time was focused on people other than Christine.
The sex scenes seemed "harsher", less loving than typical for Candida Royalle. The scenery is, for the most part, a beautiful country setting. The soundtrack is easily tolerable and not too intrusive. The acting is hard to judge, as there was not a lot of dialogue. The actors/actresses were "normal-looking", yet non-offensive to the eye. This leads to one of the bigger pluses of the film... since there are no freakish physiques, both men and women may feel better about themselves after viewing this.
For Candida Royalle, this was just an average effort. So far, my favorite of her films is "Sensual Escape". You might consider it instead. - 2005-07-09, 9 of 9 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Champagne and Sweets for Two
- Director Candida Royalle has pioneered the genre of romantic erotica that can be enjoyed by couples. The actors are not the typical surgically enhanced twenty-something sexual automatons that grind their way through mainstream pornography. They look and act more like "real" people of different ages (even some with imperfect bodies)in real romantic situations. Look for character development, dreamy settings, and even a modicum of plot.
Christine is an attractive, thirty-something single woman who visits the lush Love Inn each year. In a bow to Lady Chatterly, it becomes apparent that she yearns for a forbidden rendezvous with the handsome young groundskeeper. Her sensual, soft-focus, longing, dream sequences are mingled with vignettes of other couples at the inn joyfully and playfully celebrating their couplehood, love and sexuality. Perhaps there is a message that the hottest of these scenes is reserved for the fiftyish inkeeper (with average looks and slightly sagging figure) and her long-time lover. The ending, of course, is completely predictable as the frustrated matron and the lonely groundskeeper throw caution and decorum to the wind in a firestorm of pent up longing so hot that it threatens to ignite the hayloft.
Romantic, sensual, sometimes funny. Explicit but not offensive. I liked it. My partner liked it. Her comment, "It's not cheesy like other erotic movies."
