Review of The Little Death (2014) by Graham B — 01 Jun 2015
The Little Death is a truly original comedy about sex, love, relationships and taboo. In a multi story narrative, we peer behind the closed doors of a seemingly normal suburban street. A woman with a dangerous fantasy and her partners struggle to please her. A man who BEGINS an affair with his own wife without her knowing anything about it. A couple struggling to keep things together after a sexual experiment spins out of control. A woman who can only find pleasure in her husband's pain. A call centre operator caught in the middle of a dirty and chaotic phone call. And the distractingly charming new neighbour who connects them all. The little Death explores why do we want what we want? How far will we go to get it? What are the consequences of that fleeting moment of sexual ecstasy?
I am not sure where this recommendationcame from. I randomly found it on my IMDB watchlist. Thank Madonna for it though. This little Aussie black comedy is a laugh out loud triumph. A hilarious study of "be careful what you wish for" as 3 ouples living in the same street experiment with the kink in their lives to reinvigorate their relationships.
The film interweaves between these three couple's shenanigans and finally spends time with another story which is as intriguing and also finally draws the threads together.
Damn I love this film. I'd like to thank whomever recommended it and can only pas it on. WATCH THIS FILM.
