SEX

May 20—7:00 pm9:00 pm

“A playful, insightful character study”On May 20th, see SEX, Norwegian director Dag Johan Haugerud’s second installment of the widely acclaimed Oslo Trilogy!

An ambitious trilogy from Norwegian novelist/filmmaker Dag Johan Haugerud, LOVE–SEX–DREAMS are three distinct feature films linked by their themes of nontraditional intimacy, but need not be seen in any particular order. In SEX, two male-identified colleagues who are happily married to women share candidly their secrets: one reveals his unprecedented recent sexual encounter with another man; the other is haunted by a recurring dream featuring David Bowie and his own gender fluidity. Both men — shockingly yet with great sensitivity — seek transparency and understanding with their wives. SEX thus envisions honest, warm-hearted possibilities for gender expansiveness within heterosexual monogamy, while also enacting the intricacy of an authentic and generous love.

“Superbly acted. The film is laced with dry humor but also poignancy and notes of melancholy. [Turns] the male character study on its head with a gentle subversiveness.” (David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter)
