MAKING THE CLITORIS YOUR BEST FRIEND

Two typical Western teenagers - unable to understand either women or their desire for them - indulge in sex and drugs as part of a male bonding ritual that borders on being closet gay. For all their braggadocio, they are still dependent children, and the older woman who comes into their sexual fantasies then comes to rule their roost. Her goal in setting off with two boys is to avenge herself on an unfaithful husband. Despite the immaturity of doing so, she learns that she was foolish to expect him to change.

A fascinating exploration of unbridled male sexuality unguided by any sense of genuine pleasure - only the desire to show off. Better than Les Valseuses in that it does not just deal with sexual pleasure but sexual intimacy - what one seeks with the onset of maturity. Although this film is about the affects of telling the truth, the truths here are not that profound or, often, true.

Terence… (circa 190-159 BC), Roman dramatist. Chremes, in The Self-Tormentor [Heauton Timorumenos], act 1, scene 1.


Führerprinzip:



One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves… There is no organ of conciliation or mediation interposed between the leader and the people, nothing in fact but the apparatus - in other words, the party - which is the emanation of the leader and the tool of his will to oppress. In this way the first and sole principle of this degraded form of mysticism is born, the Führerprinzip, which restores idolatry and a debased deity to the world of nihilism.
