A Love Story – Charles Ventura, Lea Zimmermann

Frequent SexArt contributor Alis Locanta, who wrote and directed “A Love Story,” not only has an artist’s eye and a finely honed technical mastery of his medium, he’s also a gifted storyteller. Given the fact that hardly a word is spoken during the course of this engaging erotic romance, that’s truly impressive. Subtitled “A Story About Us,” we first meet Lea Zimmermann and Charles Ventura as they get dressed to go out. In this case “out” means “up” and the love-struck couple enjoy the expansive views and a glass of sparkling wine on a rooftop deck. They soon retreat, however, to the quiet and privacy of the indoors and their budding romance takes a distinctly physical turn. Lea Zimmermann, making her first appearance in a SexArt feature, delivers a particularly noteworthy debut performance. She’s naturally beautiful, with an expressive face, a svelte and shapely body, a lively spirit, and exceptional skills — both as an actress and as a sex partner. Thanks to the talent in front of as well as behind the camera, romance is in the air, sparks fly, emotions are genuine, and the passion is scorching in “A Love Story.”
