Review

Fans of the luscious cocks-and-Cossacks epic Moscow: The Power of Submission will surely want to catch this steamy companion film, a loosely structured behind-the-scenes docu-journal of the shoot. This is a video collage of daily production woes, interview segments and on-location B-roll, with as much swinging dick and thrust-and-spurt to satisfy the XXX quotient of just about any typical porn flick.

Through it all, the delicious Russkies featured in full throbbing glory in Moscow are strewn throughout the entire documentary, usually naked, oftentimes erect, and sometimes frozen in a pretzel-like fuck pose while lighting is adjusted before filming resumes.

We get a peeper's-eye view of tedious camera blocking sessions, spy on the boys fluffing themselves between takes, and witness flaring tempers as the director occasionally scolds his groping models for botching a hands-off cum shot. Just as in the finished film we see being produced here, the creamy boy juice spurts and flows freely, with enough milky hands-free ejaculations to do any frisky soccer player proud.

We also get to eavesdrop on the boys hanging out between takes, not acting, just carrying on with their own humor and charm (or lack thereof). Interspersed are some rather stodgy talking-head interview soundbytes, subtitled in English. (These banal snippets are the film's weakest aspect.)

I recently proclaimed Moscow: The Power of Submission the Doctor Zhivago of gay porn. This behind-the-scenes escapade inherently lacks the finished film's sweeping plot and glossy production, but it's just as juicy and abundant with plump, throbbing flesh. There's hardly enough drool to do justice to the mouth-watering comrades on parade here.
