aka: L' Histoire de Richard O
France 2007,
In French, Finnish with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema / Sex

Topics: Fetish.

 

Aroview: Standing explicitly on the 'porn' side of the art-porn fence, sex addict Mathieu Amalric sates his carnal curiosity by getting off with a series of women who've documented their kinky fantasies on video for his gangly friend.

Little more than a showcase for sexual techniques and detached fantasies, with (thankfully) only the barest pretension to deeper meaning, this does gain some traction when privileging the female point of view and indulging in a last-minute spot of odd-couple romance. Canadian rapper Buck 65 brings some droll wordsmithery to the soundtrack, but it's an incongruous addition to a mostly limp and unsexy exhibition of sexual gratification.
