User Review
Sexual Utopia
Rating: 9/10
An extremely playful and sensitive, a very funny and very political
movie. The story of a couple falling in love with the same man serves
as a surface to discuss fundamental themes of our time: the biological
and the ethical side of human life, the determinist way we still see
our sexuality and gender, the ways in which we define our selves in a
time with shifting foundations, the chance of love in a society with
almost no boundaries. The extraordinary performance of the three main
characters meet a style of directing that is not afraid of
unconventional ideas, like for example a metaphorical dance scene in a
white space by Sasha Walz in the beginning or a short scene of a
sundown with funny music, which seams completely out of context, but is
instantly commented with a laughter in the audience. But aside from
being entertaining and intelligent, it also invokes a kind of sexual
utopia: it encourages us, to see our sexuality, our love, our gender
and ourselves in a more tolerant, open and free way.
This is, without a doubt, the best German movie i have seen in years.
