Giants

About This Movie

Giants (1987) is a fascinating piece in John Summers' oeuvre, showcasing a blend of clean-cut Americana and unabashed eroticism. The film features ten wholesome, all-American men diving into each other's exaggerated sexual fantasies, creating a unique contrast between their preppy appearances and the explicit content. The pacing has an interesting rhythm, moving from comedic scenarios to steamy encounters while maintaining an air of playful exploration. Summers' direction gives it a distinctive tone, almost like a cheeky commentary on the male gaze and fantasy fulfillment. It’s this mix of light-heartedness and raw desire that sets it apart from typical offerings of its time.

Giants has become a bit of an enigma in the adult film collector scene. Its original format has seen limited releases, making it somewhat scarce, especially in good condition. Despite this, it garners interest due to its playful narrative and the unusual juxtaposition of its wholesome aesthetic with overt sexual themes. Collectors often seek it out not just for its content but for its representation of a specific era in adult film history.
