There are so many great elements to this film , but it is most notorious for the graphic depiction of full-on sex, and lots of it. However, unlike the gratuitous groping that we see in most movies, bonking is the central 'thrust' to this story. It basically deals with the role of sex in relationships; in particular those of an odd assortment of patrons at a New York club called 'Shortbus'. Apparently the actors worked together over a long period of time and helped to develop their own characters and interactions. The net result is an intimacy which few other movies can achieve. The sheer reality of the sex scenes has set a benchmark which this film dares anyone else to equal. It'll get you thinking, get you horny, but most of all it'll get you laughing through even the raunchiest of scenes! You can empathise in turn with the mental metamorphosis that each of the quirky characters is undergoing. It has some of my favourite opening 'shots' ever, so don't arrive late: I only wish I could have been there for the workshops and rehearsals!
