Director
In this groundbreaking cult documentary from 1985, Oscar-nominated director Kirby Dick (This Film Is Not Yet Rated, Derrida) weaves a fascinating study of the curious role of a sex surrogate in the (then) recently established discipline of sexual therapy. Maureen Sullivan and two of her clients agreed to have the entire progression of their therapy taped, and what emerges is a disarming and compassionate look at the struggles people face in connecting with one another. A poignant and unique film that eschews a clinical approach to sex. The DVD contains a new audio commentary by Kirby Dick and a new interview with Maureen.
Not Rated.
