Hard Edge

In Hard Edge Andrew Blake continues to set the standard for excellence in erotic film making with this 25 featurette-filled film transferred to high definition for digital cinema. The sex scenes are mostly shot in France with a few in Los Angeles and as always, the musical score almost equals Blake's beautiful vision and presentation for all-over erotic impact. This is clearly the front runner for Best All Sex Film and each scene deserves a pre-nomination, though the foot fetish filled fuck with Faith Adams and Julian stands out as a Best Sex Scene nominee. Blake truly glorifies the female form and captures incredible moments that include a three-girler with cunnilingus performed under a glass table, a human wine bottle, smoking aplenty, and sexy cat fights that capture pure female arousal. In addition, there's fetishistic sex with body painting, shaving, lingerie and even the kinky suggestion of forbidden sexual practices outlined in the featurette, Dirty Martini. It's the consistent level of kinky voyeurism that makes the work of Andrew Blake so compelling as evidenced here by his magical powers of casting, the use of light, his tantalising way of making the camera movement seem furtive and illicit so the viewer comes away feeling like he's a perverted director of a highly personal live sex show where the most beautiful women in the world perform strictly for him. Adriana Sage has never looked more beautiful or seductive and one would never guess she launched her career as a gonzo girl who did it all and now seems like she's found her niche as an exotic temptress with a playful presence. Control also plays an aspect in this film feature where women give up their sexuality to other beautiful she-creatures only to have their deep-seated sexual desires unleashed before our eyes. The combination of blondes and brunettes is perfectly cast as the interaction of the performers seems natural and driven at the same time. Julian reappears near the end of the film to indulge in another glossy fuck and it's only then one realises he's the only male in this movie. One never misses a man in an Andrew Blake film as the women are all so stunning, sexual and completely at ease and in control at the same time, they more than make up for the lack of cock on screen. Julian's stately demeanour here and his huge, horse cock seem the perfect elements to tease and tryst with these world class beauties. One comes away from this film, as in every Andrew Blake production, wanting not so much to see more as to live in the mind of one of the all-time great erotic auteur. His style is timeless, true and tantalisingly filled with tease and purity of emotion, something sorely missing in the present world of gonzo glutted wall-to-wall dvd productions. Enjoy this movie like a fine cognac, heady and warm and distinctly memorable and best when shared with a friend.
