Audio/Video Quality: Thankfully, both were better than in Tatiana
1 although the vocal track was still mainly in French with a bit of
narration once in awhile. The sex sounds have also been dubbed which reduced
the heat for me.

Body of Review: Tatiana 2 continued the sexual misadventures of the
poor little Russian gal played by Tania Russof in the year 1834. In Tatiana 1, she had to sell her body in a bordello to obtain the money her family
needed to pay a debt off. In this one, she schemed a bit and got her revenge
on the Marquis, played by David Perry. The sex was better than in this
sequel even if the extras were the same. Here's a breakdown of the action
but I wasn't able to get the cast since the credits were in French and the
production notes/biographies were sketchy at best.

Scene One: Two servant girls, Marianne and Sandra, were working in a
stable when they got boned by David and Yves. The sex included oral,
straight, anal, DP's, and facials. It wasn't bad and the women looked pretty
good although they looked at the camera too much.

Scene Two: The same two ladies were back when the stable boy demanded
a BJ from them. This scene was very short and lacked any heat at all.

Scene Three: Laslo the gardener boned Inga and Karina in the woods
after he caught them about to have a lesbian tryst. The mechanical sex
included everything you'd expect-oral, straight and anal-but lacked
chemistry. The good news is that they looked good.

Scene Four: Lydia and Myrka, two okay looking gals, had sex with
Alain on a small boat in the river. I'll admit that the location was
creative but the women weren't the best and the chemistry was lacking.

Scene Five: Caroline(?) and Jean had sex in a livingroom of sorts. I
thought she looked good and seemed to have some fun.

Scene Six: This was the big orgy with a whole bunch of guys-Atilla,
Bruno, Frank G., Frank Versace, Mephisto, Yves, Zoltan, and maybe Jean, and
a bunch of hookers played by most of the rest of the female cast. My biggest
problem with the scene, besides the way it was edited into the last scene,
was how too many of the women appeared to be posing for the cameras. Every
once in awhile, there'd be a glimmer of heat and then we'd be whisked away
from it. All the usual forms of sexual activity took place here.

Scene Seven: David had sex with a couple of women in masks and
costumes here while tied to the bed. Tania, the main selling point of the
dvd, finally has a bit of sex but it's only her masturbating while he bones
the other two gals. She then gave him a short BJ. The kink was that there
was an implied anal rape of him by her but it was not shown (so much for
Private being a bastion of kink and perversion-sellouts!). The scene was
weak.

Summary: The cast looked a bit better here and the sex was better
than in the first volume but even with the improved picture quality, the
vocal track destroyed the story which kills half the value of a feature
porno. The only detailed review I could find made me wonder if the writer
was buying shares of Private's stock beforehand.

Private undoubtedly makes some good porn, some would rate them as one of the top companies today, but just like American porn has it's over used formula's, so do they. The biggest appeal of the Tatiana series is Tania herself and when the lead only gets a short scene, it makes a consumer wonder why. Thankfully, this volume had other attractive women to take up the slack.
