Older videos do not lose their value just because recording standards have changed. Once, 720p resolution was standard for video quality. Now it looks thin next to everything else in a feed shot in 4K. However, many creators and businesses still have older clips worth keeping — product videos, early social content, archived interviews — […]
Around the middle of director Gregg Araki’s incisive farce I Want Your Sex, Olivia Wilde’s taboo-destroying character takes a rant directed at the sexual partner nearly half her age before her, played by Licorice Pizza’s Cooper Hoffman, and calls out an entire generation. Citing an article she’s read (maybe even this one), contemporary artist Erika Tracy chides what she calls the “retro sex negativity” of current twentysomethings mired in low confidence, lacking social courage, and eschewing sexual relationships at a record level. As off the cuff as Erika has shown herself to be, she’s not wrong. Her erotic pushback rattles Hoffman’s young Elliot and shouts through the screen itself.
LESSON #1: BEING OUTSIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE IS THE WHOLE POINT— Erika Tracy refuses to squelch or apologize for her unbridled hedonism in comparing her generation against Elliot’s. The demonstrative thesis of her diatribe is “being outside your comfort zone is the whole point” of a healthy sexual experience. That’s another shot fired across the bow by Erika, in showing that it’s not the sex addict who’s off track. She knows what she wants with complete and shared clarity. Rather, it’s the supposedly normal guy who can’t get out of his own head. Spun in this way in I Want Your Sex, it’s very difficult, no matter your personal peccadillos, to call Olivia Wilde the villain of the film, and that’s a fascinating trip to ride.
I Want Your Sex is even more audacious considering how it opens. Nursing a bloody nose, Elliot is coming out of a hazy fog of unconsciousness wearing satin pink women’s lingerie to find a naked woman floating lifeless in a swanky swimming pool. This sly nod to Sunset Boulevard shifts to a detained Elliot being questioned by two police detectives (Jackass star Johnny Knoxville and comedienne Margaret Cho, two great gets). This kicks off Elliot spelling out the whole story via flashbacks and the drop of another cinematic wink with the timecard of “9 ½ weeks earlier.”
After an interview where his innate and overflowing awkwardness was deemed charming, 23-year-old Elliot gets a job joining the team of personal assistants under the eccentric and sneaky business manager Vikktor (Tony Award winner Daveed Diggs) for Erika Tracy in Los Angeles. He comes to the office daily from a long-term relationship with his grad student dullard girlfriend, Minerva (recording artist Chari XCX, adding to her movie parade after doing the music for “Wuthering Heights”), and a platonic living situation with his equally dry bestie and roommate, Apple (Chase Sui Wonders of Bodies Bodies Bodies). Erika’s prized art, spanning multiple mediums and disciplines, focuses on the carnal and noisy excitement of sexual exploration. For example, Elliot and his hunky gay co-worker Zap (Mason Gooding of the Scream series) are tasked at this “hipster sweatshop” with chewing and placing globs of pink gum on a large canvas into the shapes of vulvas and labias.
LESSON #2: DON’T SCREW YOUR BOSS— Call that…ahem… piece… the titillating tip of the iceberg as Erika flies past modern workplace ethics to pursue a casual sexual relationship with the wide-eyed and gobsmacked Elliot. But we’re not talking about cute quickies in the company breakroom. This is a full-on BDSM, with Elliot as the sub, shown in all sorts of tawdry montages of dirty deeds. Like Benjamin Braddock before him, the shaggy young guy begins to glow from this liberation and attention. As unlocking and enlightening as the experiences are for Elliot, creating energy he thinks he can bring home to Minerva, it’s all wrong. Folks, don’t screw your boss and save yourself all kinds of trouble.
That lesson aside, the cast of I Want Your Sex is clearly having a ball living it up as these ridiculous characters and detonating the minefield of stereotypes. In supporting roles, Mason Gooding never skips a chance to raise the temperature with zingers and screen presence, while, in the opposite fashion, Charli XCX hilariously freezes every scale of her cold fish girlfriend. Cooper Hoffman plays the in-over-his-head dolt to perfection with clever exasperation and unexpected physical comedy. However, the gem of the entire costume jewelry collection of busted tropes is Oliva Wilde. Grabbing toys, appendages, and every opportunity to chew scenery, she’s an uncontrollable force of nature that drives the entire hurricane of a wild tale with dialogue that pushes more envelopes than postal workers.
Remember, Elliot is still the one sitting in a police station spilling his sordid guts to the cops in hopes of clearing his name from wrongdoing. With this overarching criminal investigation as a framing device, I Want Your Sex stirs a potentially violent undercurrent alongside the filterless frolic happening on-screen. By planting and probing the implication of manslaughter, murder, or, at the very least, the accidental death of Erika Tracy, the script from Gregg Araki (Mysterious Skin and The Doom Generation) and Vogue web columnist Karley Sciortino zooms past the adage of “It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt.”
LESSON #3: WHO IS BOUND TO GET THEIR FEELINGS HURT?—Blood is on someone’s hands, but what’s even worse than potentially criminal crimson stains are the hurt feelings. Elliot’s active imagination and manipulated emotions have him seeking an exclusive and real relationship with Erika and ardently believing that romantic desire is mutual, which couldn’t be farther from the case and her full control of the entire ordeal. How Araki and Sciortino address the notion of “love” in all his mayhem is quite forthright and interesting.
For more traditional viewers, their approach or conclusions might be deal-breaking, but, if that’s the case, you came to the wrong movie in the first place or for the wrong kinks. In many ways, there is no amount of “What the fuck is wrong with you?” questions, bellowed from both sides of this dichotomy with the bright lights on, that will ever get to the bottom of the dirty depth being scooped in I Want Your Sex, and that’s a complete plus to the film’s appeal and to the social commentary sweating out of its pores. Splicing comedy to sexual awakening in this day and age is a tall task, and scrambling brains with the jeopardy of fantasy fulfillment is even bolder.
LESSON #1: THE DEFINITION OF A “GOOD HANG”— There’s a term to love in the Canadian indie rom-com Middle Life: "good hang.” When you get past the first definition describing the presentation quality of one’s manhood, Urban Dictionary will tell you it’s someone fun to hang out with. One of the film’s lead characters fits that bill as someone who makes mundane days more exciting with inclusive interpersonal skills. Those special people, or at least ones that are consistent at pulling it off, are hard to find and easy to love. Everyone should have at least one of these types of individuals in their life.
That being said, “good hang” could also describe the completed activity itself that was spawned from a spontaneous idea. Over the people themselves, the delight and surprise of satisfaction from the passage of quality time spent is what gets the “good hang” label the most in Middle Life. Churning with an approachable zest to watch the revitalization of a wayward pair of souls brought together from different walks of life, Middle Life itself earns that very marker of appreciation.
One night driving in the suburbs of Toronto, a married wedding planner and new mother named Andie (Leah Fay Goldstein of Diamond Tongues) comes upon a rollover car accident. Her initial aid helps save the lives of the driver, Ryan (Sinners ensemble member Peter Dreimanis), and his father, Bernie (Curse of Aurore’s Mike D. Smith). All three go about their lives after that night. Andie is juggling a double-career household with her academic husband Chris (Luke Lalonde, seen in Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie) and her toddler son. Ryan continues his diligent blue-collar work as an on-call plumber and part-time caretaker of Bernie’s cognitive recovery since the accident.
A stroke of chance in Middle Life comes into play when Ryan and Andie run into each other in public. His heavy sense of gratitude is met with equal kindness in return by her. Ryan invites her to grab a drink sometime soon after work to catch up, and Leah obliges. When Andie does, the two share a great talk at the bar, comparing lives. His new lease on life to make every day something meaningful comes through at a time when Andie feels stuck in a divisive rut with Chris. When Ryan urges her to keep the good time going and crash a house party they walk by, she obliges again, as we witness the first of many “good hang” moments.
LESSON #2: FINDING EXCITEMENT IN A LIFE LACKING IT— One interesting tell to come out of Andie’s meet-up with Ryan was that she took her wedding ring off, only putting it back on during the final Uber ride. Deep down, Andie wanted this type of excitement and a chance to get away from the domestic doldrums and her unresponsive husband. She liked getting a little tipsy and having an agreeable adult conversation with a man locked in on smiling right back at her. Likewise, Ryan gets an escape from watching his father’s decline and the next best thing to an active dating life. The two begin to schedule more and more regular friendly appointments, collected in a “good hang” montage of bowling, pedicures, drinking, chowing down at a Pizza Hut buffet, and sneaking into an auction.
LESSON #3: CAN IT STAY PLATONIC?— These get-together segments in Middle Life between Andie and Ryan, set often to a jazzy score from composer Ben Fox (recently of The Outer Threat), exude a casual comfort that is downright contagious. We want to leap from our theater seat or couch to join them in the dalliances of their newfound spirit of adventure and quests for bucket list experiences. The more these characters liberate their stresses with each other, the more we root for them in classic romantic comedy fashion. Their new connective verve is strong, as one wonders how long this kinship can stay platonic.
Between both the astute script and careful direction from Sundowners filmmaker Pavan Moondi, Middle Life does not take the slight and silly route of typical serendipity. It would be so easy to have both characters flirt with each other in a swarm of double entendres and suggestive zingers for an hour until one succumbs in a melodramatic, swooning crescendo. Middle Life is too frank and mature for that gaudy route in all the best ways, while still sprinkling plenty of amorous magic to lighten the mood when necessary.
The strength of that wisdom comes from the wonderful depths of the two Middle Life leads. Andie and Ryan are two middle-aged people with fears, flaws, and external responsibilities away from their shared hangouts. Leah Fay Goldstein and Peter Dreimanis (who are also helpful producers on the film) play them as such, with tangible insecurities and outstanding shell-shedding charisma. Thanks to their committed and brave performances of showing life’s difficulties parallel to the carefree and united fun, the question isn’t “will-they” or “won’t-they” like other rom-coms. It’s should they because of the prudence being paced so smoothly and realistically next to the pleasures. Built that way, any fulfillment found in it all becomes much more rewarding.
Last Thursday, on the coldest night Madison has had this winter, we screened Daddio to a full house, ninety seats, every one of them filled by people who had walked in out of eleven-degree air carrying the smell of wool and cold pavement. I stood by the door tearing tickets and watching the line stretch past the popcorn machine, and I remember thinking that this is what the job is for. I have hosted the Thursday Q&A at this little repertory cinema two blocks off State Street for eleven years. I am forty-four. If you have seen the film, you know it is almost entirely two people talking in a taxi from JFK to midtown, which makes it either the best possible choice for a discussion night or the worst, because after ninety minutes of watching two strangers learn how to talk to each other, an audience has a great deal it wants to say.
The discussion went as well as any I have ever hosted. A man in the fourth row raised his hand and said he had driven a cab in Chicago for thirty-one years, and that the thing the movie got right was the distribution of silence, which silences the passenger controls and which ones the driver does. The room went quiet in the good way. A young woman in the back corner, the kind of seat I always save my last question for, asked whether the driver would have said any of it if the passenger had been a man, and I watched ninety people lean forward at once. A retired teacher wanted to know why the film never lets them exchange names until the end. Forty-five minutes passed without a single dead spot. I opened with the easy question, I interrupted kindly, I passed the microphone to the quiet corner on purpose, and from behind it all I remember thinking that this was the job at its best.
Afterward, when the lobby had emptied and I was stacking the comment cards, Ruth came down from the projection booth. Ruth is seventy-one and was our projectionist for thirty years, through the end of 35mm, and she still comes on Thursdays to sit in the back and keep score. She helped me turn off the lobby lights, and then, with her coat half on, she asked, "How are you doing, though? Not the show. You."
I want to tell you that I answered her. What I actually did was say, "Honestly, nights like this are why we do it," which is a sentence about the show, and she knew it, and she nodded in a way that let me off the hook, and we said goodnight. I stood on State Street in the cold and tried to find the true answer to her question. I could tell you the running time of every film we have shown since October. I could tell you which donor paid for the new projector and why the second reel of the print we retired in 2019 had a scratch at the forty-minute mark. I could not tell Ruth how I was doing. I had spent the whole evening guiding ninety strangers through the most personal conversation a public room can have, and I had done it entirely from behind a role, and the role had no exit door.
At home I found a text from my brother, sent that afternoon. He installs garage doors in Minneapolis, and all he had written was, "what've you been up to." I typed three replies and deleted all three. The first began, "Busy week, we had a sold-out Thursday," which is a box office report, not an answer. The second began, "Honestly, nights like this are why we do it," and I had to put the phone down for a minute after that one. The third was a perfectly shaped little paragraph about the cab driver in the fourth row, with a setup and a payoff and a button at the end, and I deleted it because my brother is not an audience. He was asking for the clumsy version, the one with no shape, and I understood, standing in my own kitchen, that I had been rehearsing structured talk for so long that the clumsy version no longer came out of me on command.
Here is the part I did not say to Ruth or to him. For about two months I have been practicing that first, shapeless minute somewhere with no stakes at all, on Knotchat, a random one-on-one exchange you can keep to text or open up to video if both people want to. There is no room to work there, no name to maintain, no one expecting the programmer. When a conversation stalls, nothing has to be rescued; the silence just sits between two people until one of them finds the next true sentence. I still do not have a tidy explanation for why an hour of one-on-one chat with a stranger occasionally does what a whole season of receptions cannot, but I suspect it is the only place in my life where nobody, including me, is hosting. It is not therapy, and I would not ask it to be. It is practice at beginning.
On Friday morning I sent my brother a voice message. It rambled. I told him about the man from Chicago and the distribution of silence, and that Ruth had asked me how I was and I had answered like a press release, and that our boiler had once screamed during a silent film and Ruth had left the booth to kick it twice, on the beat. I did not edit it. Two hours later he sent back a voice message of his own, forty-seven seconds long, about his furnace, which is making the noise again, and about nothing else at all. It had no shape whatsoever. I listened to it twice.
