In director John Stagliano’s stylish, BDSM-flavored lesbian feature, gorgeous Samantha Bentley and Misha Cross fall “Hard In Love” — but this is not a beautiful story. At an authentic fetish sex club in Berlin, glamorous Jessie Volt and big-assed party girl Proxy Paige overpower petite Misha in a kinky threesome. As alluring pole dancers entertain the lecherous club crowd, busty Samantha’s upside-down split captivates ivory-skinned Misha. Each pale brunette fulfills a craving for perverse, strong sex in the other; they intuitively know how to get the other off, extremely. But Misha is unaware of the conflict brewing between Samantha and exotic, dominant Angel Long. Towering Angel (striking with cherry red hair and elaborate tattoos) trains collared slave Samantha to top submissive plaything Henessy, but Sam’s jealousy provokes the Mistress to work both girls over. Angel asserts control, forbidding Samantha’s budding relationship with Misha. Devastated Misha acts out in the most extreme ways, alone and with comely, dark-eyed Nikita Bellucci. However, Samantha and Misha remain haunted by each other. The movie’s messy, orgasmic fetish passion encompasses intense slapping, spitting, smothering, choking, anal gaping, rimming, toys, tongues and feet, along with copious face play. Love, really. John Stagliano’s “Hard In Love” is a double-disc DVD with extra sex, behind-the-scenes footage, photo galleries, cast list and filmographies.
