“You’re a sexual astronaut just exploring the outer limits of experience”
Overview
The first feature in over a decade from New Queer Cinema iconoclast Gregg Araki, I Want Your Sex is a refreshingly mean and horny satire of sex and the art world. Naive 23-year-old Elliot (Cooper Hoffman) has his world shaken when his boss, provocative visual artist Erika Tracy (Olivia Wilde), decides to promote him from humble assistant to sexual muse. Elliot plunges headfirst into a series of kinky encounters, but as he gets deeper into Olivia's world the intoxicating older woman reveals a dangerous mix of jealousy and manipulation that could lead them both to destruction.
“Araki’s manifesto about the power and creative energy of the erotic”
“Outrageous”
“A breath of fresh air”
Why You Should See This Film
Araki is firmly in party mode here with maximalist visual flair, gleeful erotica and some truly inspired casting (including Johnny Knoxville, Daveed Diggs and a phenomenal Charli xcx). Hoffman delivers on the awkward, earnest promise of his turn in Licorice Pizza but the show is stolen entirely by Wilde- watching her transform between the fab dominatrix of her underlings' fantasies and an embittered Millenal girlboss desperate to stay relevant is a genuine pleasure.
