Description

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 Mitchells 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) 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 its the sex scenes that will really get tongues wagging and its testament to Mitchells 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 SHORTBUSs central narrative which revolves around the search for identity and acceptance.
