Indie Sex

Aroview: Proudly explicit, this racy review of sex in independent cinema compiles a hot and heavy survey of clips, qualified by insightful, sometimes scholarly reflection from its commentators and industry participants.

Across three parts – “Censorship”, “Teens” and “Extremes” – the documentary illuminates on the various complexities and controversies surrounding the depiction of intercourse in movies, from early silent nudies, right through to SHORTBUS and other contemporary boundary-testers. Lashed with such outspoken non-opponents as John Waters, Dita Von Teese, John Cameron Mitchell and Catherine Breillat, its advocacy for sex in cinema is strong, though lacks counterbalance to offer the subject a truly thought-provoking debate.
