Broken Side of Time (2013)
Very good, sexually-charged movie. But, SO NOT for people with ADD
I cracked up when I read the review that mention ADD. And the reviewer was right on target. This is definitely a slow paced film, but one that is quite rewarding.
I saw it at the Cinekink Festival in NYC, where is won best narrative feature and the best way I can describe it is that it's a journey where a woman rediscovers the joys in her life.
The main character, Jane, is a mess. Drinking too much, taking too many drugs, hooking up with every guy she meets. And it all comes with her lifestyle as an internet model. She realizes that despite the good money, it's killing her. Plus she is now competing with much younger women, played in the film by real models who obviously have no problem with complete nudity.
That said, there is a lot of nudity in this film. Jane is a nude model. But you never feel like its exploitation. It's her job. She's comfortable. Se we are as well watching her.
My favorite part of the film was these weird self-portrait sessions. At first you don't know what's going on, but by the end when you see her photos you completely get it, and your heart is broken. I literally started to cry.
It's that sort of film. Go with it. Lose yourself in it. And the rewards will be worthwhile.
