The Band

Synopsis:

When lead singer Jimmy Taranto dumps his girlfriend Candy then his rock band Gutter Filth, Candy decides to take his place in the band. Together with anal bass player GB, cross-dressing drummer Dee and Jennifer, their loyal manager, they begin a journey to stardom. While their success eclipses Jimmy’s, Candy still can’t find the true love she is looking for. But sometimes the things you want are right in front of you.

Quick Thoughts:

Honestly not sure how to describe “The Band”; it’s almost as if you took a porn and gave it an actual plot. Except while there is a plot to this queer adult film, it doesn’t go anywhere. Nor do we get any real acting through the entire film. Heck, even the sex lacks a real connection. However, we are certainly treated to unabashed sex – nothing is covered up! In the making of featurette, director Anna Brownfield remarks that the film is a feminist twist on porn, all told through the female gaze. Perhaps that explains why there is an abundance of male genitalia on screen instead of the typical nude female body that we’re accustomed to in film. (This is perhaps the one thing I love about “The Band” – not only is the sex real instead of simulated, but we are treated to men at full mast!). If you’re looking for erotic sex scenes, this queer adult film may suffice. But if you want a semi-decent storyline – you’re almost better off watching actual porn! I would not recommend “The Band” unless you’re truly intrigued.
