Sexuality under the microscope Sexual desire is a common physiological need, the same as the desire to drink a glass of water.
Alexandra Kollontai
The study of hypersexuality is the basis of this picture. Women, revelations are full.
To get into the holy of holies of a sex therapist means to touch the intimate, delicate. Understand and accept someone’s pain as your own, understand it. At least try. Thanks to the Canadian drama Denis Cote, we are given the opportunity today. Three young women, three patients are torn out of the usual society. Among the pristine nature, in the greenery of the forest, on the shore of the lake reservoir, under the blue of the clouds, when birds sing, they need to shake off the ashes of the past from their clothes. Relaxation? Almost. Spiritual practices? Somewhere close.
Find balance by listening to yourself? Detachment from “yesterday” due to new experiences? Putting down inner demons? Yeah, yeah. A comprehensive methodology is proposed by a specialist. Quiet, calm, measured. You want to talk about the secret? You will be heard.
The jury of the Berlin Film Festival 2022 nominated "Such a Summer" for the Golden Bear Award. And deserved. We have a piece of goods, far from the assembly line. The painting is good. She's worth paying attention to. For a thoughtful viewer, a viewer with life experience, the director’s idea will provide a lot of topics for reflection. Talk openly about sex, talk about sex from a position of obsession for more than two hours in a row? The flow of words from the mouths of cute, pretty, and at the same time wounded girls? What's it like? Provoking the excitement of the details gathered at the screen, the author is shocked by the same details. What's nesting in us? What force sleeps for the time being? When she wakes up, she breaks, subjugates the personality. Saturated, subsides. But for now, until a new "attack." Is it a disease? Is that a deviation? Can this be rationally controlled? Maybe that's the norm. What about? How do you relate to everything you hear and see? Horrified? Shamefully lower your eyes? Wave your hand? Correct? What-what-what? Here everyone chooses the optimal. Only good for him. Exactly for him.
Sexual attraction is a common physiological need, just like the desire to drink a glass of water.
Very, very brave? Intriguing?
Having skillfully asked the topic, Denis Kote confidently builds a dialogue without leaving anyone without attention. Yes, girls first, yes, they are the main violins of this orchestra, rhythm, tempo, on them. At the same time, secondary characters, those who are engaged in patronage, support, are no less colorful. The only man here is Sami, a social worker. He is humble and open to conversation. Women's charms mean little to him? Apparently. That hard? Or is it just an apparent balance of calm? Octavia, a German researcher, is a sympathetic observer, but not a censor in the experiment. Critics, she has no advice. Participatory coexistence is reserved for her. Wise and clever? Cold by nature? Not exactly. She is also haunted by a demon... And is this not the main leitmotif of the tape... Clean, unsullied, just people, too. At the same time, “cleanliness, integrity” is only a threshold of restraint.
Sexual desire is a normal physiological need, just like the desire to drink a glass of water.
Cozy boarding house and 26 days to talk... Watch this movie.
