Making a vibrant return to the big screen after 12 long years, legendary American auteur and past Frameline Award recipient Gregg Araki fuses a modern sex comedy for these roaring 2020s with his signature brand of quotable one-liners and romantic nihilism. When bored and sexually frustrated Gen Zer, Elliot (Cooper Hoffman), lands his first real job assisting anti-woke art star Erika Tracy (an extra thirsty Olivia Wilde), it isn't long before "erotic muse" and "sex slave" are added to his job description. Apologies to Miranda Priestly and Nicole "Babygirl" Kidman, but if you prefer ball gags, hideous art, pegging on the clock, and Slowdive needle drops with your workplace power dynamics, Araki has just what you've been looking for.
Thoroughly entertaining and pointedly sex-positive, I Want Your Sex is an irreverent but impassioned plea to the youth of today — a generation labeled as "uptight prudes" (whether accurate or not) — to fuck! And to help make this point, Araki has enlisted Mason Gooding as a horny artfag, Charli XCX as a frigid med student, Chase Sui Wonders as Elliot's tomboy bestie, and Margaret Cho and Johnny Knoxville as the film's own Benson & Stabler.
