While the film’s tag ‘The place where everyone comes together’ sounds like the call of a bad teen romper, John Cameron Mitchell’s Shortbus goes further than the accompanying shot of hot kids in chesty bonds suggests.
Way further.
Reputed for containing real sex on screen (without pornoclassification), the film’s score definitely reads R-rated. There’s sex therapist Sophia (who fakes it with her husband), Severin the orgasm-challenged dominatrix/prostitute/artist and gay couple James andJamie (who have an open sexual relationship). Sex meets music, art and politics in a Brooklyn loft called ‘Shortbus’, where all characters converge, sexual charge climaxes and deeper personas are revealed.
Worth seeing for the incredible shots of New York and wicked soundtrack alone - Mitchell has achieved the unachievable; crafting a film that combines explicit sex with interesting characters. It could just be theperfect date movie. Don’t take your mum.
We have 25 double passes to give away, just email shortbus@threethousand.com.au with your address (which will not be used for any other purpose) to get lucky.
