Vespoli Gives ’Em Hell

Her studio may be best known for gonzo-style porn, but Dana Vespoli is exceptional. The Evil Angel director/performer’s “A Thing Of Beauty,” arriving June 8 on DVD and VOD, is an ambitious, new XXX feature. Its story surprises, convincing acting, hellish imagery and clever special effects ignite a potent variety of sex scenarios in a depraved re-imagination of the traditional devil’s bargain.
