Les Anges Exterminateurs



I went to see THE EXTERMINATING ANGELS (the image above is courtesy of indieWIRE. I am not interested in doing a blow by blow review. The main part of the movie was that a director wanted to expore women's private sexual lives and responses. It was hard for him in the movie (and I guess in reality?) to find women who wanted to explore that, no holds barred in front of a crew--to be displayed for the public. The movie was a sensation at Cannes, and caused a scandal in France.

France. Sexuality. Scandal. Need I say more?

The man next to me said that the movie was over the top. I personally have never seen a woman-women--masturbate in front of the camera for a non porn movie. Note, none of this was simulated. Every major sex scene was real. I had a bit of trouble with it, but the main trouble I had was why isn't there a movie like this with men? Shouldn't it be made? We don't know all of the aspects of male sexuaity do we? I would like to write, produce, direct and maybe even act in a movie where men are placed in the same way as women in this movie. If in enough of a state of arousal, would a man kiss another man even if he was not homosexual? Would he masturbate that man and perform oral sex on that man if they were both in enough of a state of arousal? I'm curious, I really want to explore this on film. I wonder if I am willing to explore it on paper or a computer screen first?

My guess? The story will come from my hands before you see it at any major theater--even as porn. Because as much phallic symbols as there are in the world, men still want to keep theirs hidden. I think they should come out of hiding...
