Shortbus trailer

In preparation for university, I will be updating less on this website from now on, although I will still be covering the Venice film festival (next week, I believe).

For now, watch this extended trailer of John Cameron Mitchell's next film shortbus. Mitchell was the director of Hedwig and the Angry Inch (and he played Hedwig). The film is about a group of new yorkers who discover an underground salon (named Shortbus) which features art, politics, drugs, and kinky sex, well, mostly the latter. The film premiered at Cannes and was one of the very few films to survive unscathed from the disappointing festival (Southland Tales, on the other hand, did not). It is mean to be a very open exploration of sexuality and human relationships. I am one of the very few who really wants to see this film despite its overt sexually graphic nature. Mainly, because I loved Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and can't wait to see what director John Cameron Mitchell has created now. Well, here is a link where you can glance at the full trailer with an introduction by John Cameron Mitchell.
