Q (2011)
A film by Laurent Bouhnik
In his graphically erotic new film Q, controversial French filmmaker
Laurent Bouhnik (24 Hours in the Life of a Woman) uses the
current economic crisis as a trenchant social backdrop to the lives
of a group of conflicted teenagers. When the enigmatic Cecile walks
into their lives, their deepest-felt sexual urges are unleashed and
their worlds changed forever.
After the death of her father, 20 year old Cecile (Déborah Révy)
looks for support from her friends but it’s only through random
sexual encounters that she finds solace. Alice (Hélène Zimmer),
who lives under the thumb of her repressive parents, dreams of the
‘perfect love story’ but her ‘secret’ boyfriend Matt (Gowan Didi)
can’t commit to anything substantial. Given striking immediacy by
the graphic depiction of real sex, it is these stories of love and
desire that form the emotional and sensual epicentre of Q.
Q is a probing look at the nature of sexual impulses and the unique
intimacy that only sex can create between two people. Sure to cause controversy, Q bares all with its
cast of youthful newcomers delivering wryly observed dialogue behind an unbridled depiction of carnal
passion. Q is a subversive and explicit adventure that is impossible to forget.
