“The first twenty years of my life were spent on stage, but I was an opera singer.

    SHORTBUS

    JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL United States, 2006

    An audacious follow-up to Hedwig and the Angry Inch, John Cameron Mitchell’s Shortbus is both an erotic drama and a sex-comedy, a sprawling ensemble film that approaches the spectrum of sexuality from diverse points of view. Includes bonus shoutout to Nagisa Oshima’s In the Realm of the Senses!
