'Come Fly with Me' directed by Erika Lust, starring Carolina Abril as the as a 'badass' female pilot and Luke Hotrod as the 'nervous' passenger 'Ugly', 'tacky', and 'horrible' are just some of the adjectives she ascribes to the genre, which has long been a vehicle for, as Lust puts it, the gaze of narrow-minded men. Lust, who debuted her first adult indie short film, The Good Girl, in 2004 while studying political sciences, feminism and gender studies, considers mass-produced porn to be boring at best, misogynistic at worst. They might have different hair colors, but more or less it's the same kind of women, over and over again.' 'They cast the same kind of very young women with very slim bodies and large breasts. You know the ones, they love their cars and their drinks.' This, says Barcelona-based director Erika Lust, is who is behind the majority of today's mainstream porn. 'It's heterosexual, middle-aged white men who have these fantasies with boobs and ass. A new wave of female filmmakers has set out to transform chauvinistic mainstream porn into stylish cinematic masterpieces that revolve around one simple idea: the pleasure of women.
