Ham Muốn - Desire, Q
In his graphically erotic new film Q, controversial French filmmaker
Laurent Bouhnik uses the current economic crisis as a trenchant social
backdrop to the lives of a group of conflicted teenagers. When the
enigmatic Cecile walks into their lives, their deepest-felt sexual urges
are unleashed and their worlds changed forever. After the death of her
father, 20 year old Cecile looks for support from her friends but it’s
only through random sexual encounters that she finds solace. Alice, who
lives under the thumb of her repressive parents, dreams of the ‘perfect
love story’ but her ‘secret’ boyfriend Matt can’t commit to anything
substantial. Given striking immediacy by the graphic depiction of real
sex, it is these stories of love and desire that form the emotional and
sensual epicentre of Q. ~ Lovefilm
In a time when the country is
struggling in economic crisis, when society is struggling against a
plethora of problems and when capitalism and consumerism seem stronger
than ever, several strangers will have their life turned upside down
after they meet Cecile, a character who symbolises desire. The casting
call for Q read “we are looking for actors/actresses aged 20 to 40,
professionals or amateurs, who are willing to shoot scenes with
non-simulated sex acts.” Director
Laurent Bouhnik says he wanted to make
a film about the true power of love and how the sexual experience can
be either so powerful or so hollow. In these broken times he sees us
moving away from our natural origins, fetishizing and tabooing sex,
whilst at the same time forcing it down people’s throats through
advertising and the media. Q is Bouhnik’s attempt to tell a story about
the purity of sex and the deep connection with another person that can
only be found through it. Sure to stir up some controversy, Q is an
erotic tale centred on youth and freedom against the backdrop of the
economic crisis. ~ Johnny Cobbles
