Destricted is a collection of seven short films dealing with sex, love and pornography. The films range from about three minutes to thirty minutes. The films were made by various film makers and artists of note, regrettably the films them self are not.
The best of the films is Sync, which is a three minute rapid fire sequence cut together from other films where people have sex. Its a blistering paced lust story that is a technical triumph however you slice it.
The rest of the films are a pretty lackluster bunch. The best of these is possibly Gaspar Noe's 25 minute film representation of what sex really is. and is summed up by it title that appears at the end. Made with a strobing effect that is migraine inducing, it would be a great film if it ran about a third of its length since if you're clever you'll know what the punch line is.
Larry Clark's half hour interview/sex film is okay but ultimately rather dull, which I think is the point. Point or not I don't need to watch a film to be bored. It would be better if it went somewhere other than into ennui.
Everything else was a waste of time. Sure they all looked good, but they had no life in them. To my eyes they appeared more fake and unreal than most adult films I've run across.
Unless you're fan of one of the directors (I got suckered into seeing this because of Gaspar Noe ) I would avoid this at all costs. Its neither erotic nor thought provoking, rather its just dull.
