How to order

In Studio 2000's recent Meltdown, Rafael Carreras brought Spanish heat to a wintry Czech ski resort. In Barcelona Bound, he's a tourist in his own country. Visiting Barcelona for the first time, Carreras and boyfriend Lucas Foz check into a hotel ("Just think, we'll be able to have sex in a bed!"), then wander around town snapping photographs and conjuring up sexual fantasies about people they encounter-- a priest and a construction worker, a wine merchant and a delivery man, a matador, a sailor and a street mime.

Superbly photogenic from head to foot, the trim, fiery Carreras fuels the two best sex scenes-- a three-way in a wine cellar, and a passionately romantic session with Foz. This could be director John Travis's best work in years, but he's potently assisted by his nine-man Spanish cast. Whenever the sex begins to seem static and posed, there's suddenly a primal moment like the one where Carreras, as he piston-fucks Dino-- who in turn is happily fellating Marquez-- begins to suck his thumb, then reaches over Dino's body to insert his fingers in Marquez's mouth.
