Jeanette Winterson raves about Once More, With Feeling

Jeanette Winterson gives a rave review to Once More, With Feeling, Victoria Coren and Charlie Skelton's account of trying to make the greatest porn film ever. Winterson calls it "a laugh-out-loud book, absolutely inoffensive, a sort of Carry On Pornography."

You will not read a funnier account of shooting a porn movie. Poor Michael — the illegal innocent, I mean immigrant — is almost as naive as Charlie and Vicky, which is maybe why she falls for him. In the dungeon scene, while henchman Karel has veins standing out “like wisteria on a monastery wall”, Michael’s reluctant genitals in Karel’s mouth look to Vicky like “feeding a Wotsit to a mountain lion”.

Coren and Skelton also have their own website at thenaughtytwins.com (their film is called The Naughty Twins) with more information and a message board.
