Review of V.O.

V.O. (2007)
9/10
Haunting and evocative
27 August 2009
Either you like experimental film/video or you don't. If you do, and not just for its oft-present explicit or borderline explicit sex, I'd say that chances are you'll really like "v.o." For me the juxtaposition of art-cinema soundtracks (complete with subtitles) and non-explicit scenes from gay porn of the 70s and early 80s creates a profound and thought-provoking experience. Showing the way the "low" experience of cruising for casual gay sex connects to the "profound" experiences of "high" art offers a unique insight into what sex, even grubby pick-a-trick-up-in-a-subway-station sex, means in queer life. If you have a chance to see this hard to find piece, and you like experimental video, I'd say it's a must see.
