Review of Diary of a Sex Addict
(By Diego Salgado - Digital Fanzine ) - Some have speculated that the social normalization of porn, today without limitation accessible to anyone with Internet and open the subject of jokes in the media and on the street, parent far presentable in public, erotic films, we have four days.
(That would make for good the idea that the difference between the erotic and the pornographic lies within the limits imposed by the conventions and legislation, teachable parts of human body on the screen or the accuracy of the camera angles. If so , Romance (1999), Fuck (2000) or Nine Songs (2004), commercial fiction, including simulated sex, would be ending the debate.
Indeed, what distinguishes one genre from another is that porn is a key priority of the beholder arousal and erotic film wonders what beats beneath the sex drive, what relationship exists between our base desires and reality consensual live, how to face the abyss of Eros and Thanatos.
No one could write off erotic excellent titles as The Empire of the Senses, Crash (1996), Last Tango in Paris, Bitter Moon, Eyes Wide Shut, Natural Size, Turkish Delight, or Sex, Lies and Video Tapes to play a role simply lewd, not to say that some of them would be more useful to lower the libido, which would reveal well thought much about our desires. Even filmmakers as festive as Tinto Brass or Russ Meyer beyond a consideration of the movies related to their own artistic sublimation philias with the attempt to meet the others.
Unfortunately, at the grassroots level and in the minds of many producers still prevails that the erotic idea corresponds with the more apparent and trivial quoted at the beginning. So, Diary of a Nymphomaniac follows the trail of Emmanuelle, Story of O, Bilitis, Nine Weeks and Wild Orchid Media or, prefabricated scandals amagan season and do not give in terms of explicitness, saturated images aestheticism epatante for truckers and administrative, and account for about embarrassing escopofílicos desires and other bizarre excuses appealing to religious court or vindication.
Christian Molina's film, for example, aims to prove to be nymphomaniac is respectable. Or rather, than the old, repressive patriarchal structures called nymphomania is but uninhibited expression of female sexual free will. In one such case interest would be difficult to take it seriously taking into account the amount of crap (based on real experiences of Valérie Tasso, author of the book on which the film!) Val makes an attractive and well positioned university whose existential concerns, or would be more appropriate to write genitals, leading to star forty-five sex scenes almost as relamidas as the protagonist, Belén Fabra, until job loss, death of his grandmother, domestic abuse and recruitment into a by brothel finds peace of mind ... that is infinitely continue abusing their labia.
The absolute idiocy and political correctness (pun intended) of plot development that makes disservice to women by pretending otherwise, we must add the usual inconsistency in these products to be exhibited story come or not of course perfect body our heroine, wearing thousands of dollars in lingerie always different, the bad interpretations of Leonardo Sbaraglia Fabra and as her boyfriend (in) formal art direction that makes all the scenarios that, in the last stages in trends, and a script and production work so poor that all trusts to the voice of Val, overwhelming in its depth: "I was a promiscuous woman, yes. Intended, in short, to use sex as a means to find what everyone is looking. Recognition, pleasure, self-esteem and, ultimately, love and affection. What is pathological about that? "
Answer that question as we can confirm a doctor if bad film is likely to generate pathologies. Best?: Smells Taquila failure. The worst?: The hypocrisy involved in their production. The hypocrisy of the Community of Madrid to enter the rag and prohibit the exhibition of the movie poster (if not an advertising ploy). Rating: reserved for fans of "Sex and the City" and "Desperate Housewives" having want to inadvertently give the coconut.
