Seems as if Rocco decided to shoot a movie - a feature, not one of his usual gonzos - at the 2004 Barcelona Erotic Film Festival. What he came up with is a dizzying hodgepodge of documentary, mystery, comedy, violence (sexual and otherwise), bizarre characters and even more volcanic than usual sex. It's constantly entertaining, even when it verges on the hallucinogenic.

The story thread seems to be that Europorn superstar Katsumi falls in love with Rocco and dreams of marrying him. When he declines, she gets her revenge by having him kidnapped and chained. A Spanish dwarf (Holly One) and an African-American detective (Mike Chapman) go on his trail (in drag!) and free him just in time to pick up a Festival award.

What's real, what's fantasy? Who knows?

When Rocco is abducted on the street outside the festival hall, it's so realistically done that some in the crowd seem to think it's the real thing.

Once captured, the shackled stud is put through the wringer by Fem-Dom Venus, who covers him with copious pourings of molten wax. He stays rock hard and perpendicular throughout. Then he turns the tables on her for a slapping, strangling hate-fuck of Olympian proportions.

Katsumi dreams Rocco is fucking her, all in bridal white. Their pairing is predictably explosive, but it's all about love - "So fucking beautiful," he keeps repeating as his dick slams into her. The hate comes later when "Katsumi the Warrior" is conquered and brutally subjugated by Chapman and his big black dick.

There's lots of great footage from the Barcelona expo, which looks like quite an event, with live sex performances. Holly One, the extraordinary midget, has three sex scenes, two onstage, and Ron Jeremy shows up as himself.

There are also some peculiar glitches, like a group scene with Katja Kassin and Alicia Rhodes that barely starts before it stops, although stills from what we don't see appear on the box cover.

But there's no time to wonder why. The movie's a careening Krazy Kart - you just hang on and ride.
