Director Candy Flip: “Do we really want what we want? Why do so many people feel more desire in the yearning and anticipation than in the actual act of fulfilling their fantasies? Do we want to suffer? If so, how? Which power dynamics mold our often contradictory desires and identities?
I’ve performed in a lot of erotic movies, but for the longest time I’ve been reluctant to direct movies myself. There’s so many open questions and sore spots – how could I ignore them and “just” make a cute film with insanely sensual looking sex?
I tried to pose the questions and contradictions in the film: a sweet story, a beautifully performed sex scene, but there’s a dash of salt: the protagonist stays alone with his desire, just like the audience.
Some viewers have said that this film ruined their mood. But that’s okay. Say hello to Sad erotic Cinema!”
