Pandora Peaks (2002 Video)
7/10
shame this wasn't better integrated as a feature film. This is a documentary if anything

for the Meyer purist, this is a double-edged sword. All the classic elements are there- the fast cuts, the great camera angles, the sharp focus, and of course the HUGE BOOBS! But on the down-side, there's no story, no characters, none of the exploitation/sleaze elements, or heavy-handed dialog, and quite frankly no plot line really at all. It's merely a collage of Meyer-stuff, like he threw a bunch of left-over stuff in a blender and out this came. Shame too as I'd have loved to have seen what he could have done with Pandora as a real character in a real story in a real film. it would have been a true swan-song. I'm guessing it was him being too old and lacking of resources, along with his Alzeimer's perhaps that kept him from fully realizing this. Hell, there's not really much of Pandora in this, which is odd considering her name is the title of the film. I think Russ must've really lost it towards the end(as it appears from reading the very excellent and informative Meyer book bio).

it's nice to watch but i wish it was more an actual movie. Pandora is indeed one of the most stunning women in the world(long since retired and sadly reduced breast-wise) and she was at her peak(sic) about the time Russ shot her. Shame they didn't take it further as perhaps then Russ would've gone out with a BANG! instead of a fizzle.

I own it nonetheless and any true Meyer fanatic should. Great shots as usual, and Pandora will make your heart pound.
