What I'm Watching #72

As my Spring break approaches, I am again in the video mood. And I have seen an utterly amazing film. "Shortbus" by John Cameron Mitchell; the man behind "Hedwig and the Angry Inch."

Shortbus is a quirky film about an eclectic and troubled group of individuals who find their way to an avant guard private club in New York City called...."Shortbus". Their interactions are authentic, intriguing, metamorphic, and filled with all kinds of hot, explicit, amazing sex. And not a single act comes off as gratuitous. Raunchy, sensual, erotic...SURE, but over the top? No.

It's a melding of sex and psychology, and physiology, and history, and need....and, well: HUMANITY.

This is an utterly wonderful movie. Period. Kudus to everyone involved.
