Losing Sight Of Art and Entertainment


After seeing this movie and thoroughly enjoying it I must say that some people have forgotten the true meaning and beauty of this film. It almost makes me ill that the most important thing to people is whether or not the actors are well endowed, does it show anything, or whether they are actually having sex or not. I mean really folks. Grow up a little. This movie is not your father's porn that you and your friends spend hours giggling nervously over. This is art. This is a beautiful film, filled with so many great things, with no pornographic or sexual aim at all. If you are going to spend the time, effort and money to see this film, please don't degrade it by making it a sex flick, becuase it is nothing of the sort.

thank the STARS for that. although i can understand why people would want to see this movie for a sex scene, its much easier to trawl thru the millions of free porn sites available on the net. its people like the ones in the previous posts who cause pro family/religion/morales/anti gay groups to kick up a stink any time someone dares portray a realistic gay relationship or other similarly related topic. if you're gonna treat these films as cheap smut you can hardly complain when they manage to ban them on those grounds. jesus, they almost got mysterious skin banned in australia and this is a movie i think needs to be seen not just because its a beautiful piece of art but because it puts a much feared taboo subject in the spotlight. cheers.

I agree on that totally. For me, personally, what I liked about this movie the most was the cinematography (the most beautiful I have ever seen) and the fact that PRESQUE RIEN is somewhat sad and it makes you feel enchanted because this sadness is so beautiful. I think the director didn't intend to shock or excite viewers so the sex scenes are of little importance in fact.
