Product Information
Writer/director John Cameron Mitchell follows up the cult classic HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH with another salacious slice of sex-laden cinema. Mitchell interweaves three separate tales of highly sexed and sexually frustrated New Yorkers, all of whom find some kind of salvation at an underground club named Shortbus. Anything goes at Shortbus--wild orgies between people from different ages, backgrounds, and sexual preferences are treated as commonplace, and most of the sex scenes shot through Mitchell's voyeuristic lens are completely unsimulated. Mitchell allows little time for his audience to pause for breath, opening SHORTBUS with a frantic collage of copulation and carnality that features most of his central characters. These include Sofia (Sook-Yin Lee), a sex therapist who has never reached full orgasm; gay couple James (Paul Dawson)--who begins the movie by fellating himself--and Jamie (PJ DeBoy); and Severin (Lindsay Beamish), a dominatrix who finds herself unable to find true love. Mitchell lets his cast of characters unravel their tales of woe, interspersing the touching and mostly sad stories with eye-popping scenes from Shortbus and swooping birds-eye shots of a computer simulated version of New York City. The director also draws heavily on an indie-rock soundtrack, making repeated and effective use of the beautiful "Winters Love" by Brooklyn-based group Animal Collective. But it's the sex scenes that will really get tongues wagging, and its testament to Mitchell's fearless and uncompromising vision that he depicts sexual acts that run the full coital gamut, from amusing to titillating to shocking. Amid all the boundary-pushing there is a tender heart buried in SHORTBUS's central narrative--which revolves around the search for identity and acceptance--but less sensitive viewers who seek amusement in the singing of the National Anthem into a prominent orifice will also find plenty to enjoy here.Product Identifiers

A gay perspective.
Although I am straight; I have friends and family members who are gay. So I'm very open minded and don't judge people by the lifestyle they live. And the sex scenes don't bother me, as I'm more opposed to violence. This movie is predominantly about gay men and there relationships. It was written and directed by a gay man who mixed it up a bit by throwing in a heterosexual couple here and there along with some lesbians, probably so it wouldn't be labeled as strictly a gay movie. The problem is that the relationships that are not gay have a gay outlook and perspective. In other words, I don't consider them realistic. That being said, all in all it is a well made movie.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

An adult sexual fairy tale
This movie is not for the squeamish or prudish. Lots of explicit sexuality and nudity. But it also has very interesting characters and stories that intertwine. It feels like a fantasy or adult fairy tale. Even though the content is quite serious you are left feeling uplifted and happy. A very different and edgy movie that can be thoroughly enjoyed by an open minded couple.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A Movie for Gay?
I knew there are explicit sex scenes in this movie. But it turns out that the whole movie is actually about homosexual relationship and all explicit scenes are between men. Since I am a straight person, I was pretty irritated to watch a good part of the movie. The story itself is also pretty lame, a glorified gay porn at best.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Uninhibited character study
I saw this movie when it came out and loved it then as now. Sexual and social norms are dismissed for a permissive libertine perspective on life, love and relationships. Really well done in my humble opinion!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
