Director Jean Noel Rene Clair's formula is simple: pair tall, built, hairy Algerian or Arab men with little slips of bottoms and let the sparks fly. Although this isn't a bad idea, Clair's "System D Version 1.0" shows us that the results are variable at best. In other words, this one's a mixed bag, even if the goodies outweigh the duds.

One of the goodies is a brief solo featuring a tanned, built black-haired boy with a very intricate tattoo over his right shoulder and pec. The scene doesn't take long since he's obviously pretty turned on by watching himself in an off-camera monitor, and his cumshot audibly splatters on the floor in front of him when he's done. In case we haven't seen the money shot in all its glory, Clair includes another run of the end of the solo from a different angle. Pretty good!

The other goodie is the third scene, hot because of the same "handsome kid" who shows up in Clair's "The Games are Over" parts one and two. I wish Clair had at least credited him (and everyone else) with a name, but alas! none are to be had. Anyway, this boy is truly beautiful -- short, small, and hard bodied, with the exotic face of a prince from the Arabian Nights. And, did I mention he fucks like a bunny and cums like a geyser?

Take a look and find out for yourself. "System D 1" won't disappoint, even if the other scenes are pedestrian. The production values are minimal: there are no "sets" to speak of, no music, and the boys don't look like typical porn models. Still, Clair's version of cross-cultural sex is worth taking a look at, even if there are some fizzles in the mix.
