Inspired by the sexploitation films of Russ Meyers and Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow Up (1966), HardWerk’s latest gang bang is a slow burning subversion of cinematic tropes that finds the carnal in the camp and the sumptuous in the sleaze. For her first ever gang bang and first facial on film, lead performer Maria Riot and the filmmakers reimagined the figure of the bossy (and generally male) photographer with a much-needed shift on the gender axis, so allowing Maria to take the lead in quite literally staging her own fantasy.

Volume 15 includes 6 new adult films, featuring a polyamorous love story in a dystopian country, a sexy lunch break in a moving truck, an old flame between ex-lovers that refuses to die, an orgy in a bike shop and much more. Along with two new movies directed by Erika Lust we have four guest directors showcasing their vision of eroticism and sensuality, shot around the globe, from Barcelona to Florianópolis in Brasil! Included: Speedos Cleptomaniac; A Mundança; The Bike Club; Men in Kilts; An Illicit Affair; Valentin Pierre & Catalina.

You could say that tradition and established institutions lie at the core of Hardwerk’s Bride Gang: Kali Sudhra as the soon-to-be newlywed in her virginal white wedding dress, the flowing beer, rattling pinball machines, nicotine-stained-and-deep-rooted machismo and lackadaisical regulars of the typical German Eckkneipe (corner bar)… You could say so that but, of course, it comes as no surprise that the associated tropes and clichés become a playground for subversion in this inspired piece of smut. The filmmakers also give porn itself – in some ways as entrenched in convention – the same treatment, queering the heteronormativity of the gang bang, empowering female performers to ask for exactly what they want and pushing the genre into an amalgamation of inspirations and aesthetics that elevate it on every level. This might not be your drea m wedding day but it’s definitely the one you fantasize about.
