Movie Reviews of Shortbus (Unrated Edition)
Movie Review: This film is....um....penetrating!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film was like being dosed and getting lost back stage at an Elton John concert. Whether you think it a bad trip or good depends on your own sexual set of pathos. However, any non-porno film that showcases self-fellatio replete with facial, shoooo.....got my vote. If only I could do that, I wouldn't be writing this right now....hells, YEAH!!PILATE: A Brutal Bible Tale
Summary of Shortbus (Unrated Edition)
Follows the lives of several individuals and couples as the struggle with various sexual issues.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: UN
Release Date: 13-MAR-2007
Media Type: DVD
In his aim to make an honest film about sex, John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) has taken a somewhat documentary approach to Shortbus, a film describing various New Yorkers' sexual pathos. Framed by shots roving a homemade diorama of the city, Shortbus is comprised of vignettes featuring actors who helped craft this story of people's disconnect in sexual endeavors. Jamie (PJ DeBoy) and James (Paul Dawson), a gay couple experiencing a lull in their relationship, visit Sophia (Sook-Yin Lee), a sex therapist whose inability to orgasm results in her clients inviting her to a sex club after which the film is titled. Sophia's husband, Rob (Raphael Barker), is also willing to experiment, so the two independently embark on adventures in self-pleasure. Dominatrix Severin (Lindsay Beamish) plays a crucial role in Sophia and Rob's lives, as her search for real humanity overlaps with their desire for passion. As each character's plot complicates, the viewer sees a similar melancholy bulldozing its way into these seemingly disparate lives. The depression is repeatedly used in comedic scenes, such as when James is asked on a date while still hospitalized for his attempted suicide. Yo La Tengo's score, which includes Animal Collective among others, lends this film a graceful ambience. Unlike porn, Shortbus has a resonance that encourages the viewer to consider one's own sex life as an important aspect of happiness. --Trinie Dalton
