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. Here, the line between object, subject and artist can become blurred; men in all their exaggerated machismo can become eager playthings, and the directive cannot go unheeded: look at me.
There are three constants in life: death, taxes and – let’s face it – mainstream porn narratives. In their latest release, HardWerk doubles up on the subversion with a BDSM-centered gang bang that disrupts, deconstructs and intentionally queers the blow-by-blow(job), paint-by-numbers porn plot. The result is an ever-shifting and deliriously dirty cinematic dungeon dreamscape that is both surreal and, according to the filmmakers, a little truer to life. Starring the irrepressible June Fontaine, its non-linear structure is inspired by frenzied dark room encounters and the morning-after piecing together of memories, reliving it not moment by moment but in sweat-soaked snapshots and fragmented ecstasy.
