Quote:
"Screening at the Melbourne Queer Film and Video Festival, which begins tomorrow, the film [Bubbles Galore] probably will provoke as much debate here as it did last year at its Montreal premiere. Bubbles Galore is a tender, trippy, pastel-tinted tribute to X-rated porn flicks and the women who work in them. [...] Bubbles (played by former X-rated film actor Nina Hartley) is a porn superstar and producer who has only a month to shoot, cut and deliver her latest movie, A Good Girl Gone Bad. And that's just one of her dilemmas. She's also madly in lust with her leading lady, a Marilyn Monroe look and sound-alike called Dory Drawers (Canadian Penthouse Pet Shauny Sexton) who not only has no experience in skin flicks, she's also a virgin. Meanwhile, the local porn kingpin, threatened by Bubbles's growing success, decides he will rid himself of the competition by shooting a snuff movie casting Bubbles as its star. Bubbles, however, has God on her side, played by ubiquitous performance artist and self-styled pleasure activist Annie Sprinkle. This scenario is more elaborate than your standard skin flick, but Roberts and her cowriter, Georgina Wright (who also has worked in the sex industry), pay homage to classic plot devices of the genre such as older-woman-teaches-younger-one-about-love, with results that are immensely erotic."
