SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 9:30 PM; ST. ANTHONY WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 9:30PM; ST. ANTHONY U.S. PREMIERE Director: EDDY TERSTALL Sextet is also a movie inside a movie. The six stories– parts of a trilogy chronicling Dutch life– of sex life in Amsterdam are strung together (a lesbian couple, a sexologist, Moroccan immigrants, among others) by the comments of a weird film teacher who criticizes the film’s structure as well as its playful, sometimes lurid content. |
Director Terstall (Simon, Rent a Friend) , 45, gives it gusto, and the result is an ingeniously interwoven film that is surprising, disturbing, funny, and poetic, as he examines some “liberties” enjoyed by the Dutch. In style, the director is guileless and forthright: Sextet exhibits sharp, strong dialog, candid sce- narios, and fresh acting. But don’t expect Bertolucci or Bergman.
