middle age male directors
sure make a lot of lady-love movies.
Wonder what they're motivation is?
Oh yeah, art
I don't care what their motivation is, I'm just glad they make them – because if this is an example of what a middle-aged male director makes, then more power to him! Speaking as a woman, I love it!
I know a lot of female viewers claim that this is nothing but a male fantasy, but I think that they must be jaded for some reason or another and refused to allow themselves to really enjoy the film. Because it's a very beautiful film, one of the most beautiful I've ever seen!

they are all middle aged male masturbation fantasies, typically hiding behind progressive politics. This has been the way with middle aged bohemians since Swinburne. Of course such art or rather barely sublimated 'wank' fantasies mesh perfectly with Hollywood's own obsessions, hence the gushing reviews that follow every time an old man in a director's chair reaches into his pants for inspiration
It's getting old and tired. As old as the directors themselves and as tired as their flaccid members
Well, this can't all be male fantasies – because I'm a woman, and this film fit my idea fantasy pretty well!
In any case, I don't care why this movie was made or by whom, as long as I enjoyed it – which I most certainly did!

of course; it's the conjunction of middle aged male jerk-off fantasy and feminist jerk off fantasy. The latter goes without saying, but it's as much political as 'sexual'. In our world pornography + social engineering = art
shareI'm not a feminist, and I don't consider this film to be porn. Close, yes, but not quite. It's much too emotionally driven and heartfelt to be lumped in with porn, just because beautiful women in the nude happen to be loving each-other in it.
If anything, this film is like one of those Renaissance paintings of the same ilk. And most people see a difference between nudity and scenes of "love-making" vs. crude and mechanical "sex".
In a phrase, sex, where the desire to simply "fVck" is the driving force = porn. But, sex, where love or a sense of romance and beauty is the driving force = art. This film shows us the latter.

I meant the genre - is a conjunction of middle aged male + feminist jerk off fantasy. Feminism is a lot keener on lesbian sex than hetero and so are the male pornographers who direct these films - very often because their politics are feminist sympathetic.
As for comparing something like this to a renaissance painting...that's obscene
As for comparing something like this to a renaissance painting...that's obsceneI don't think so. In fact, I think that was the idea behind having those paintings all over the walls and so close in view throughout the movie.

so a sleazy male porno-art-film references and exploits genuine art while trying to suck in neurasthenic teenage masturbators in the hope they'll buy cinema tickets and some kleenex
Stupid debased age we live in when stuff like this passes for art
