Review Shortbus (Unrated Edition)

Shortbus (Unrated Edition) Best Review

I liked very much Hedwig, but it was one of that movie you need to see more than one time to understand. Shortbus, it could be strange, is more simple: it shows various relationships and way of loving (one of my favorite character is the stalker). Obviously my heart goes to James, even if I don't think Jamie is the right man for him... but sometime being loved is enough. Wonderful titles (I don't know the term in English, it's the opening scene, when the cast and crew are listed).

Shortbus (Unrated Edition) Overview

From the director of ‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’ comes SHORTBUS, an exploration into the lives of several characters living in present-day New York as they navigate the comic and tragic intersections between love and sex. Male and female, straight and gay, the characters find one another – and eventually find themselves – when they all converge at a weekly underground salon called "Shortbus," a mad world of art, music, politics, and polysexual carnality. One of the true sensations of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, presents sex and sexuality as never before seen in mainstream entertainment, and promises to be one of the most talked-about films for months – and years – to come.

Shortbus (Unrated Edition) Specifications

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

Shortbus is average - R.S.G - Waialua, HI. USA
Short Bus is a interesting movie that involves a lot of sexual energy. It kind of reminds me of state of total sexual confusion and indecision. I must say that the movie has its highlights as far as frontal nudity and sexual escapades. I kind of felt a little loss for any major thought on it. In some words, this movie shows what a state of sexual confusion can mean to some People. Pleasantly ok with the movie. But is about average. Reminds me a lot of a "B" movie.

If you like nudity, confusion and drama, this movie has all of it. Over all I give it three stars because I enjoyed the movie, but still felt it lacked a strong storyline.






Shortbus - Harold Hart - alameda ca
was not porn - just a good indie type film with a twist, enjoyed it, it reminded me of Chain Of Desire which is a great film which it was a little more on the traditional side, where Shortbus went out side the box, I hope for more films like this.
