i have to admit that while i'm a big fan of Angelo's scenes generally, i don't think the Hell series works at all. i don't mean to rain on anyone else's parade, and i get that it want's to tap into the market hungry for heavy 'mandhandle' content since the demise of Giorgio's studio has left a demand without a supply. but i think the more extreme a director goes with this niche the less successful they are. the reasons being:
first, the harder you try to go with pretend aggression and violence, the more ludicrous it becomes, to a point that it essentially become 'WWF/WWE meets XXX'. a pantomime of exaggerated-to-the-point-of-funny angry expressions and laughably pulled punches and slaps, that convince no one and reduce an otherwise great regular group scene to a farce.
this is exactly how i feel about the Hell series. it's a format that the more you try to push it, the less stable it becomes, and the plausible tips over into the implausible and then the ridiculous
second, it's limited because obviously you can't go beyond a certain point of suggested roughness, because then you are wondering into the dark and ugly world of violent exploitation and snuff etc, which i don't think anyone here (and no sane person anywhere else for that matter) wants to see. xxx has generally widely understood boundaries with regard to depictions of aggression and rough play, because the models have their boundaries and society has boundaries. and beyond that there is the law
third, convincing depictions of violence against women are (and should be) a huge turn off. Michael Winterbottom's The Killer Within Me (2010) is a perfect example of this. critics who said at the time of its release that he should have toned it down (so it wasn't so graphic and shocking) completely missed the point. if a scene in a film is supposed to present a woman being punched in the face, yet an audience can happily sit through it without feeling shocked, it has completely failed to properly represent that event on film. video game violence has already numbed peoples reactions to depictions of shootings etc to the point of indifference. does society want us to become numbed to depictions of violence against women too?
therefore in the context of xxx film, because realistic depictions of aggression against women are such a major turn off (and the whole point of xxx is to turn an audience on) you always have that 'realism ceiling' of how far you can push it without going into WWF/WWE + XXX territory
so i think the whole concept is fundamentally flawed (no disrespect to Angelo for trying)
