*** 02.19.09 – Shortbus... 2006... Director John Cameron Mitchell
This is NOT a film for everyone... hell it's not a film for most! But Shortbus is a film that pushes the boundaries and that's what filmmaking needs. It's not a typical Hollywood film by any standards, it deals with very, very adult themes but it all seems to work... for the most part.
John Cameron Mitchell, weaves together multiple storylines and sexual encounters to tell the story. The film has actual sex in it, but if you get beyond the sex or at least are comfortable with it you really get into the character and their lives.
The DVD if great with lots of extras including one of the most interesting behind-the-scenes documentaries on the making of the film.
No matter what bus you rode on in school, when you take THIS Shortbus, you'll be on the ride of your life!
