For some
of us, the adult equivalent of the childhood
fantasy of being locked overnight in a candy
store would be to find ourselves on a film
shoot in a remote locale with a dozen of the
porn stars who inhabit our dreams. This is
the fantasy which Mr. Pam (aka Pam Dore, a
documentarian of omnivorous sexual appetites
and a contagious laugh) makes a reality in
documenting the three-week shoot in
Sacramento, California of the male porn
flick, Buckleroos. Blessed by two
highly-charismatic (and extremely
well-endowed) leads, Dean Phoenix and Marcus
Irons, Buckleroos swept the adult video
awards the year of its release, 2004. In
getting behind the scenes of this extremely
successful porn film, Dore exposes the
strong sense of community forged amongst the
film’s stars and crew on the ranch which
serves as the film’s set. What with the
endearing traits of each cast member
revealed by Dore’s probing and solicitous
questions, it’s not long before the
Buckleroos family becomes the Waltons of
porn – and it’s perfectly understandable
why, at the wrap party, Marcus Irons cannot
help the tears which slide down his face.
It’s odd to imagine that your heart might be
so stolen by porn, but Dore’s film makes it
clear that sometimes when you bare your
body, you might also, with luck, bare your
soul.
