“(Ira Kaplan) In terms of performance, something unexpected is always good, it's preferable if it's unexpectedly good. But unexpectedly bad has a lot to say for it as well. It's always nice to be able to look back on a show and say, "Oh, that's the night that this happened," and a lot of the worst memories are better than the shows with no memories. A good rehearsal is a lot harder to describe. A lot of rehearsals that end up feeling best are the ones where something really bad was happening, and you just kind of got past it and fought through it. Just dealing with things that are inevitable.”

    SHORTBUS

    JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL United States, 2006

    An audacious follow-up to Hedwig and the Angry Inch, John Cameron Mitchell’s Shortbus is both an erotic drama and a sex-comedy, a sprawling ensemble film that approaches the spectrum of sexuality from diverse points of view. Includes bonus shoutout to Nagisa Oshima’s In the Realm of the Senses!
