Somewhere between a hallowed altarpiece and the orgiastic frenzy of The Garden of Earthly Delights, the first film of HardWerk?s ?Triptychon? series pays homage to the classical triptych format with an entirely new perspective on the gang bang. With the screen split into three parts, allowing multiple perspectives in time as well as space, a new type of sensual storytelling is born with no detail missed and no moment overlooked. And the right ?composition? was as essential to the energy of the film as it was to the aesthetic. For the filmmakers, finding the right constellation in the cast with the right organic energy ultimately made for a film ? and first gang bang for lead actress Luna Silver ? that was ?intimate and filled with laughter and joyful, playful energy?. In the tangles of limbs, the eruptions of giggles and gasps, and the clever juxtapositions of context and chronology, ?Triptychon? turns a four-way fantasy into a single work of erotic art.
We are led – and almost literally so, leash and all, as lead performer Kleopatra appears blindfolded onscreen – into the second installment of HardWerk’s Triptychon series by the ring of a bell, the creak of an old wooden school desk, a nervous lick of the lips and three waiting figures. Hanging in the air with it all: anticipation, intention, veneration. It’s not for nothing that the filmmakers have adopted a slower pace for this intense gangbang – there’s a meditative quality to the echoing spanks and answering whimpers, to the push and the pull, to effortless dance of desire between the four participating performers; an absolute presence of mind and an absolute presence of flesh. As with the previous Triptychon film, the composition finds its own seamless choreography across multiple perspectives, so creating stunning juxtapositions between pain and pleasure; between a hand tightened around a throat and the easy laughter in each moment of disarming tenderness; between the polish of ‘pre’ and the primal of ‘right now’…
