Review

 

John Cameron Mitchell's Shortbus explores the lives of several emotionally challenged characters as they navigate the comic and tragic intersections between love and sex in and around a modern-day underground salon.

A sex therapist who has never had an orgasm, a dominatrix who is unable to connect, a gay couple who are deciding whether to open up their relationship, and the people who weave in and out of their lives, all converge on a weekly gathering called Shortbus: a mad nexus of art, music, politics and polysexual carnality.

Set in a post-9/11, Bush-exhausted New York City, Shortbus tells its story with sexual frankness, suggesting new ways to reconcile questions of the mind, pleasures of the flesh and imperatives of the heart.

This is the most explicit, but one of the least erotic films that I have ever seen. It is also one of the most pretentious. It also has very little narrative interest, and some rather over-done acting. Hence, it has just been deposited in my kitchen bin.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Thought provoking and much more.

If you watch this film see beyond the explicit sex, the three tragic main characters are much deeper than that. Watch deal with their problems, enjoy the music(especially the finale). Would I watch again? Yes, it has much to offer on many levels,it's bound to leave you feeling empathy with at least one of the leader characters. A very different and in a strange way very moving film.
