Stars, makers of ‘Sex with Strangers’ come to town
This weekend a documentary following the adventures and exploits of several swinging couples will premiere at Landmark's Lumiere Theatre, and selected showings will also feature a Q&A with the filmmakers Joe and Harry Gantz
Also featured at the Friday and Saturday nights showings will be discussions with some of the film’s stars.
Joe and Harry Gantz are Emmy award winning director/producers who established View Film, a film and television production company, in 1984. Their work explores very intimate aspect of peoples’ lives and relationships, and has been both critically and commercially successful. “With this venture they have created a continually surprising film and intimate portrayal,” said Elizabeth Einstein of ESQUIRE.
“Sex With Strangers” offers a sexy, funny and outrageous perspective on an underground world,” she added.
Most documentaries search for defining moments, where people reveal themselves in intimate, personal ways. This film focuses almost solely on such revelations.
Characters James and Theresa are classic swingers who aggressively seduce couples wherever they go. Their protégé Calvin attempts to share his sexual freedom with them — and jealousy and psychodrama soon follows.
