DVD Review: Great Title--Now What?
Summary: 1 Stars
It's not that I object to explicit sex in mainstream films, at least not on moral grounds. It's just that it never seems to work. Porn is porn, and to paraphrase a wise jurist, we know it when we see it. But when accomplished filmmakers turn to explicit sex, no matter what their intention or how artfully it is done, it seems to mutate into nothing more interesting than a documentary about penises and vaginas.
There are a couple of points of mild interest. Larry Clark's "Impaled" documents a young man's dreams of what it would be like to be in porn. We see the kid as he begins to live his dream, but he learns there are realities "in the industry," things that happen between takes that professionals take for granted. As for the kid, we last see him post-sex, post-interview, staring into space like a victim of PTSD.
By far the best film is "Sync," which crams approximately 1100 three-frame shots into the space of 00:01:50. These are cataloged according to the position of the couple and the camera angle, and come from mainstream and porn films alike. The film exposes the clichés inherent any time one tries to film an intimate act. In its brief span, it explains why the other six films don't really work.
There is the bitter disappointment of wanting to see something, anything, from Gaspar Noë to follow up the brilliant IRREVERSIBLE, and finding his contribution so tiring and trite that I question my own judgment about the earlier film.
Most disappointing is the failure to deliver on the title, a cleverly coined word that, to me, conjures up Jacques Derrida in front of a post-graduate class, parsing the difference (or is it "differance"?) between "unrestricted" and "destricted." "Destricted" seems to promise an intellectual challenge. The most prevalent image in DESTRICTED, however, is that of men masturbating.
Whatever happened to Godard's "the history of cinema is boys photographing girls?"
DVD Review: Promising.....
Summary: 2 Stars
When I first heard about this DVD compilation of sexual short films by some pretty cool film directors such as Larry Clark Gaspar Noe and Matthew Barney, I thought it was quite promising! I went out and bought my copy immediately. I have to admit that I was a bit dissappointed after viewing it. I had an idea the films were going to be weird and arty. And that they were, but for some reason the films just didn't click with me. Instead of connecting with them I disconnected. Perhaps I was expecting some structure to the films?? I can't say. Perhaps it wasn't graphic enough for my taste?? Maybe so.
I feel the best one is Matthew Barney's as it is the only one that comes close to truly being sexual and kinky. It's a man with a machine rubbing his phallus against it covered in what I'd like to call mud. Other than that one, I found Larry Clark's somewhat interesting. I'm just not into teenagers having sex with an older woman.
If you got the buck and enjoy these types of films, i'd say go for it. If not then I'd suggest to walk on by.
DVD Review: Did I miss something here?
Summary: 1 Stars
I must have really missed the point of what this collection of shorts was trying to achieve. A group of directors asked to make a short film each on their ideas on sex and pornography opened the door for some unique interpretations by some quite interesting directors. Unfortunately, unless you consider 10 minutes of a guy with a turnip up his butt rubbing himself against spinning, lubricated machine parts art (and you surely wouldn't be the first), then this is probably not for you. We get a guy masturbating in the middle of nowhere, grainy recreations of 70's hardcore porn scenes (no more, no less), and Larry Clark finally proving himself to be the cheap pornographer he has always been(if you've ever flicked to the interview section on an adult DVD, then you've seen the extent of his entry, probably with a lot of the same people/stars being interviewed). Gaspar Noe delivers a twisted sex-and-violence tale (with signature strobe-lighting effects)of alienation involving a blow-up doll, a gun and a teddy-bear. Marina Abramovic produces the only entry of any interest, but what could be an interesting exploration into sexual beliefs from a previous era sucumbs to the opportunity/encouragement of too much explicitness. There's nothing new here, and this shows why pornography is all up pretty boring. Maybe THAT was the point. Anyway, if you want to see a film with hard-core sex scenes and something of a story, watch 'Baise-Moi'. Otherwise, like any good porn flick, you'll find your finger hovering over the fast-forward button for the best part of the almost 2 hr running length of 'Destricted'. DVD Review: A diverse collection of short films.
Summary: 3 Stars
Destricted is a collection of short films by seven filmmakers dealing with the subject of pornography. There is explicit sex, strobing effects, and some strange depictions of pornography. Director Larry Clark (Ken Park) interviews several young men who would like to have sex with a porn star. The chosen guy then interviews several porn stars and selects one. The rest of Clark's film is actual porn. This film is coded Region 2, so the DVD will not play on most players sold in North America. If you are fortunate enough to have the manufacturer's code to change your player to region 0 or 2, the disk will be playable.DVD Review: ...strong graphic nudity, real sex
Summary: 4 Stars
...these are 7 short stories on the subject of sex and pornography from some of the big directors like Larry Clark (kids, ken park)and others...some of the stories are a little weird... but all are very explicit with just about every sex act or sexual taboo explored in some way...masturbation, cunnilingus, erections, ejaculations, vaginas, penises...all uncensored and graphically filmed...but pretty accurate and honest in revealing our diverse attitudes towards how we deal with our own sexuality...truly controversial stuff
