Director:
John 'Buttman' Stagliano
2002, XRCO Best Film of the Year Award. "This is a very high budget adult film with extensive story/action sequences, exquisite wardrobe, and cutting edge, full length, very hard sex scenes. There are also several full on S&M scenes with very real action. These elements fit together in a dramatic mystery love story that takes our lead character Antonio (Rocco Siffredi), an Italian fashion designer, on a wild sexual ride into the underground S&M scene. His guide is Helena (portrayed by real life dominant, Taylor St. Claire). His phantom obsession is Jesse (Belladonna, a woman with the most incredible sexual abilities I've ever seen). Shot on 35mm film, with the lighting and production elements of a mainstream motion picture, this is by far my most ambitious project. It is a highly charged erotic experience, not intended for the novice porno viewer." -- John Stagliano
