A couple of weeks ago when the mailman delivered "this film is not yet rated" to our apartment (oh netflix how i love you) to be honest i was less than excited to see it. as we sat down with a big bowl of popcorn my partner and i both questioned why we had put it in our list of films to see, but then it started and for the remainder of the film i was completely captivated, and knew that I needed to talk about it here.
Despite being a complete media junkie, and having gotten a degree in media studies even i was shocked at some of the innerworkings of the motion picture association. i was especially interested in the queer aspects of the film, the ways in which sex is policed and particularly anything transgressive. these are the people that control who sees cinematic depictions of our lives, and really how our experiences are portrayed, and it's something that we all need to be paying serious attention to.
