Gregg Araki, known for films like “Mysterious Skin” and “Nowhere,” returns to direct his first full-length feature in over ten years with the boundary-pushing and irreverent film “I Want Your Sex,” which was a breakout at Sundance.
“This unconventional rom-com feels like a natural extension of the queer indie pioneer’s sex-positive sensibility, even as he steers things into novel territory,” Peter Debruge wrote in Variety after the festival, highlighting the film’s screwball comedy elements.
When fresh-faced Elliot (Cooper Hoffman) lands an exciting job for renowned artist, icon and provocateur Erika Tracy (Olivia Wilde), his fantasies come true as Erika taps him to become her sexual muse. But Elliot soon finds himself out of his depth as Erika takes him on a journey more profound than he ever could have imagined, into a world of sex, obsession, power, betrayal and murder.
