Cabaret Desire

Product Information

Lust's films are characterized by carefully cast actors and high standards of production in adult film. Lust believes explicit film can be an educational tool besides being pleasurable and can help us better understand our sexuality, to live more freely and naturally. She hopes to influence viewers' conceptions of gender roles in sexuality. [19] She considers pornography to be the "most important discourse on gender and sexuality". [8] For Olympe de G, a 33-year-old Parisian filmmaker who directed a film for Lust last year, making porn authorizes her own—and other women's—sexual desires, pulsions and needs. "I'm very angry to see how women continue to be sexually repressed, still nowadays," says Olympe, whose real name is Barbara. She remembers being labeled a slut ("salope in French") when she was 13 after kissing two boys at a high school party. "It would have made me popular had I not been a girl," she concedes, adding that she was often told to "behave like a woman should" during her teen years, something that exasperated her to the point of deciding to make her own porn. Rather than hide behind the camera, Olympe wrote, directed and starred in her first explicit film. "I wanted to show proudly the beauty of sex, and how right it is. Sex is not something a woman should ever be shamed for."

In 2005, after this initial success, she founded her video production company Lust Films. [8] The company has produced erotic short films and compilations steadily from then on. Five Hot Stories For Her, an anthology of five vignettes including The Good Girl, won the Barcelona International Erotic Film Festival's 2007 Best Spanish Screenplay award, [15] the Venus Berlin Fair's 2007 Eroticline Award for Best Adult Film for Women, [16] and the 2008 Feminist Porn Award for Movie of the Year. [17] Since then she has been a regular on the adult cinema festival circuit, and in 2020 one of her films came to the cinema in the regular process for the first time.

In a study of feminist pornography, Carmen Pena Ardid, Professor of Literature and Film at the University of Zaragoza, cites Lust as opening a way for women as inventors of fantasies and producers of pornographic sexual representations, but her work does not resolve the models of femininity imposed by fashion, advertising or the cosmetics industry, and the constrained social situations within which fantasies are lived. [40] Álvaro Martín Sanz, professor of film studies at the University of Valladolid, while recognizing Lust as pioneering the rejection of the heteronormativity present in traditional pornographic cinema, also finds limitations in the pursuit of beauty and the focus on fantasies rather than more realistic portrayals.

Retrieved 2 December 2021. But what really killed off my nascent interest in this feature was Erika's connection with the cult of amateurism. Along with Max Hardcore's introduction of gonzo into porn, the predilection for watching amateurs rather than pro actors is the most detrimental change in both Adult Entertainment and even mainstream TV (reality-TV) in recent decades. Erika uses untalented performers, as well as those poets whose way with words escapes me (most of the gibberish passed off as poetry here sounds more like the dubbing script for turning a Spanish or Italian movie into a junker for American audiences than original writing).
