Introduction: A Title That Demands Attention
Let’s address the elephant in the room: “My First Triple Penetration Was Great” is arguably one of the most provocative titles in recent European indie cinema. It practically dares you to make assumptions about the film before you’ve even seen the trailer.
But as with many daring pieces of art cinema, the real story unfolds not in shock value, but in the complex emotional journey of its characters. Pierre Woodman, the French director known for his controversial yet technically proficient work, returns here with something surprisingly layered. With Zlata Shine as the emotional core of the story, this film is not what you might expect—it’s more introspective than salacious, more symbolic than literal.

Plot Overview: The Many Layers of a Woman’s Awakening
The story follows Zlata, a 27-year-old modern artist living in Prague, struggling to find her voice after a year of creative drought. Her art once spoke volumes—emotive paintings, tactile sculptures—but now she finds herself drifting. Everything feels uninspired.
A chance meeting at a gallery brings her into contact with three mentors—each representing a different school of artistic thought. They invite her to participate in a radical, immersive creative residency called “Project XXXX,” a think-tank where artists live, collaborate, and challenge each other over 30 intense days.
The “triple penetration” of the title? A metaphor. Over the course of the film, Zlata’s worldview, identity, and emotional barriers are each “penetrated” by the influences of these three mentors. It’s an emotional and spiritual awakening, achieved not through physicality but through confrontation, conflict, and ultimately, self-realization.
The Three Mentors: Archetypes of Influence
Each of the mentors plays a crucial role in Zlata’s transformation:
Luca, a minimalist from Milan, teaches her to strip away pretense and confront the raw truth of her work. His style is harsh, almost brutalist. But it pushes her out of her comfort zone.
Émilie, a French surrealist, encourages Zlata to re-engage with the subconscious. Through dream sequences, mind games, and abstract exercises, Émilie leads her into a world of chaos where new meaning can emerge.
Tomasz, a Polish performance artist, focuses on the body as a vessel of expression. His unconventional practices force Zlata to rethink the separation between her physical and emotional self.
Together, they don’t just teach her—they challenge her, argue with her, sometimes even break her down. But this isn’t a story of exploitation. It’s one of empowerment. The film delicately balances moments of vulnerability with triumph, building to a conclusion that feels hard-earned and genuine.
Zlata Shine: A Star-Making Performance
Zlata Shine’s performance is nothing short of revelatory. She plays Zlata with subtlety and fire, balancing fragility and defiance. The film asks a lot of her—not in terms of nudity or exposure, but in emotional depth and range. She goes from withdrawn and numb to alive and magnetic.
In one standout scene, she recreates a childhood memory through interpretive dance, filmed in a single take with a quiet, mournful cello score. It’s raw, beautiful, and deeply personal. Shine’s work here could easily make her a name in the art-house circuit.
Direction & Visuals: Woodman’s Most Artistic Work Yet
Pierre Woodman’s style has often courted controversy, but “Zlata Shine – XXXX” feels like a new chapter in his career. The camera lingers, observing rather than intruding. The palette is moody—muted blues and earthy tones—punctuated by bursts of color that reflect Zlata’s emotional state. There’s a noticeable shift from structured frames to hand-held chaos as the story progresses, mirroring Zlata’s inner turbulence.
His use of visual metaphor is also compelling. In one sequence, Zlata finds herself in a room slowly flooding with water as she reads old letters from her mother—a striking image of emotional overwhelm.
And the score? A quiet triumph. Composed by experimental cellist Jean-Paul Marais, it blends classical instrumentation with industrial ambient textures, creating a sonic environment that’s both grounding and haunting.
Themes: Identity, Influence, and the Power of Rebirth
At its core, the film is about the process of transformation through influence—how we allow people into our lives, how they affect us, and how we emerge on the other side. The “triple penetration” is not carnal but conceptual. It’s about ideas, emotions, and self-confrontation. It’s a call to the viewer to question how they’ve let the world shape them—and whether they’ve truly chosen their identity.
Another recurring theme is vulnerability as strength. Zlata learns that being open to discomfort, failure, and intense emotional states is the only way to evolve as an artist—and perhaps as a person.
Reception: Divisive But Necessary
Unsurprisingly, the title has stirred debate. Some critics have dismissed it without watching, while others have praised its boldness. Those who go beyond the name find a story that’s rich, thoughtful, and, yes, provocative—but never exploitative.
At the Venice Art Film Festival, it received a 10-minute standing ovation. One jury member reportedly described it as “the year’s most misunderstood gem.”
Final Thoughts: Don’t Judge This Film by Its Title
“Zlata Shine – XXXX – My First Triple Penetration Was Great” is not a movie for everyone. It’s intense, experimental, and, at times, deliberately uncomfortable. But it’s also a deeply human story about growth, the agony of artistic rebirth, and the joy of rediscovering your voice.
For those willing to look past the marketing shock and embrace the metaphor, this film is a remarkable achievement in modern European cinema. It showcases the courage of a performer in Zlata Shine and the evolution of a director in Pierre Woodman, offering a powerful exploration of what it means to be truly seen—and changed—by others.
Verdict: 8.5/10
A daring art film cloaked in a controversial title, with emotional depth, rich symbolism, and a powerhouse central performance.
