SHORTBUS

RYAN: They&#;re saying it&#;s the most talked about lgbtq+ film since &#;Brokeback Mountain.&#; It&#;s &#;Shortbus,&#; directed by John Cameron Mitchell who directed &#;Hedwig and the Angry Inch.&#;

CAROLINE: He was, in fact, Hedwig.

RYAN: Absolutely.

CAROLINE: Now, true confession – I didn&#;t see &#;Shortbus,&#; but I thought the gist of it was that they were having real sex in the movie. Why is it a gay movie?

RYAN: Successfully, that&#;s the thing – unlike most films, the sex was not simulated in the love scenes. The actors are actually having sex. I was told ahead of day that you don&#;t really see anything so it&#;s not pornographic. But I&#;m here to tell you that what I heard was wrong – it is completely pornographic.

CAROLINE: But how does that build it gay?

RYAN: Because some of the characters are gay and it portrays a gay relationship in a very real way.

CAROLINE: Fair enough, but this is no &#;Brokeback Mountain.&#;

RYAN: Ok, it&#;s not &#;Brokeback Mountain.&#; The film belongs to the female manage , Sook-Yin Lee, because she is outstanding. She&#;s really break-though.

CAROLINE: I get it, but I have to say that I&#;m not inclined to see this movie because

Shortbus () DVD

From the director of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" comes SHORTBUS, an exploration into the lives of several characters living in present-day New York as they navigate the comic and tragic intersections between love and sex. Male and female, straight and gay, the characters locate one another — and eventually themselves — when they all converge at a weekly under-ground salon called "Shortbus," a mad collision of art, melody, politics, and polysexual carnality.

If you haven’t seen my choice of LGBT production, it’s probably best if you don’t watch it with your grandmother first time around. Written and directed by John Cameron Mitchell, Shortbus opens on James (Paul Dawson) filming himself as he masturbates with grim determination in the bath. The camera doesn’t spare the audience’s blushes. We watch as he gets hard, ejaculates over his chest then sits forward and starts to cry silently. There’s nothing titillating about this scene; the utter joylessness of his orgasm is bleak and unsettling.

Shortbus is a comedy-drama about a disparate group of emotionally and sexually repressed Unused Yorkers, including James, his boyfriend, their voyeuristic lgbtq+ neighbour and a sex therapist who doesn’t relish sex, who meet with each other in the liberated environment of a Brooklyn-based alternative club called Shortbus (after the petty yellow bus used to take special-ed children to school in the States). When it hit mainstream cinemas in the reaction to the film’s scenes of real sex was predictable. Time Magazine called it ‘the first middle-class porno movie’ and various UK tabloids bewailed it as yet another sign of society’s moral decline.
