Shortbus



I saw John Cameron Mitchell's Shortbus yesterday. Yes, there's lots of sex, lots of nudity. There's also a lot more to it than that. It's one of those films that you want to go back and see again, right away. I may, in fact. It's not perfect, but the whole basis of it fascinated me -- it was developed through improvs with the director and cast. The end result is a treat. I'll be reviewing it, somewhere. I'll post the links in the Featured section.
