Sexuality

Writer-Director Jeff Lipsky and Producer Dan Satorius Present

Writer-director Jeff Lipsky (Once More With Feeling, Flannel Pajamas) brings his tangled tale of seduction to the screen in this ambitious ensemble piece that echoes The Graduate and features a distinctive style reminiscent of John Cassavetes.

America loves drugs. And so do pharmaceutical giants. There’s a pill for everything, and as the enormous financial success of Viagra shows, pleasure is no exception. Men have their ‘little blue pill,’ but what about women?

A smart and lighthearted feature in the vein of Love Actually that blends everyday scenes with Amélie-esque theatrics, this quirky romantic comedy is a roller coaster ride of first crushes, lustful desire, infidelity, baby fever, and enduring love.  Set in Antwerp, the film centers on the four women of the Miller family who attract men like bees to honey. But once these men are in, there may be no way out.

Set against the backdrop of Argentina’s military regime of the 1980s, Diego Lerman’s engrossing and beautifully acted exploration of the totalitarian urge opens with a portrait of María Teresa, a lonely and deeply repressed assistant teacher at an elite Buenos Aires private school. Obedient and willing, she accepts unquestioningly the school’s rigid code of conduct and proud identification with the nation state. But her head professor’s words about the “cancer of subversion” and need for total surveillance soon feed an unhealthy obsession with one of her students, leading to an ensuing spiral of degradation and breakdown in discipline that parallels a popular rebellion beyond the school’s ivy-covered walls.
