I've never fully realised the extent to which some of us, human beings, would go to in order to put out there a certain mindset that drives us. Just spent 2 whole nights filming an independent film - Dance of a Modern Marriage - and by tackling issues of sexuality and perversion crawling beneath the surface of society's "flawless" mask, the script forced me to reflect on the changing values of accepted perversion in the world we live in today.
The script tells of a couple whose marriage is in trouble, who decide that, in order to feel intimate toward each other, they need to join an orgy. It's the putting one's sexual self out there for other people completely, in a (risky) bid to find the attractive sexuality in a significant other.
Think Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut", in a local context. Quite strange ain't it? But it happens. We seem to think we are beyond the sexual, primal instincts and animalistic tendencies; but we aren't really. As cosmopolitan / civilised as we think we are, one cannot escape the prevalence of sexual urges that drives us.
Looks like there aren't really any truly sophisticated people who are completely detached from their loins; and the ones who say they are, are in complete denial.
