JD reviewed the first scene of Petra Joy’s Her Porn last week, and when I had the chance to do the next I jumped on it. While it is only five minutes long, I totally loved it and was inspired to learn a little more about director Shu Lea Cheang, a queer media artist.
This clip, Unplugged, is from her film I.K.U, which actually premiered at Sundance back in 2000. I’m pretty sure this is the first Sundance flick I’ve reviewed on here, so that’s pretty rad. It was pretty obvious from the beginning that this isn’t your run of the mill fuck scene, although there’s plenty of XXX and it’s smokin’ hot. The set is really cool with all of these shifting walls and the camera work is fantastic. Between the set and the lighting, it has a really futuristic feel.
One thing that I really love, especially after learning more about the film and Cheang, is that this scene is pretty hardcore. A couple of minutes in, they are really going at it and it is super awesome. Gonzo directors should note how hot fucking can be without insane close-ups of penis in vagina.
After seeing this, I would love to see the film that it’s taken from or anything from the director. It’s short, but totally sweet. A great example of the fact that porn can be art!
