★★★☆☆ It's a well-known double standard: women are labelled as 'sluts' for being sexually liberal, whilst promiscuous men get a pat on the back for their numerous conquests. Or, as one young woman in Sunny Bergman's candid Doc/Fest selected documentary Slut Phobia? (2013) puts it, "they organise a parade for him and bring out the confetti cannons". Well-known, yet little explored, as Lars von Trier's recent Nymphomaniac (2013) loudly declared, female sexual desire is a gender specific form of deviancy. With the intention of interrogating this prejudice, Bergman travels the UK, America and Holland, inviting people into her interview tent to confess their attitudes towards female sexuality.
