A night at the movies
Dec. 17th, 2006 02:47 pmI finally went to see Shortbus at the movies while I was up in Sydney yesterday. If you haven't heard about it, it's notable for featuring real sex (and it's not a porno).
You know, it was alright. I liked the way that the sex was integrated into the story, and the acting was pretty decent. However, I think that fact that it was created improvisationally detracted from the plot (of which there is bugger-all, but you can have good movies despite that - look at Aliens) and characterisation.
( Cut for spoileries and sexinesses. )
In sum, it was kind of cute, I liked the integration of sex and story, there were some very amusing bits, but the gaps in storyline/character development didn't work for me. B-, mainly for innovativeness and cuteness.
