Surgeons' Secret Desires: A Sensual Art House Oddity
14 Aug
Summary
- Film explores surgeons' secret desires beyond their precise lives.
- Characters explore kinks like kleptomania and objectification.
- The film connects human urges to the surrounding natural ecosystem.
Ann Oren's "Objet a" is a sensual exploration of obscure desires, following a pair of highly controlled surgeons. Their lives, marked by precision in the operating theater, unravel into wilder impulses in the bedroom.
The film introduces Ingeborg, a kleptomaniac with a penchant for vintage objects, and Adam, who desires objectification and has an asphyxiation kink. Their carefully separated lives are disrupted by an accident.
An injured Ingeborg requires assistance from Gaia, a former patient. This event and a custom leg brace, reminiscent of fetish objects, awaken new avenues of desire for Ingeborg.
Gaia's connection to nature, causing fungi to sprout, eventually draws Adam into the couple's exploration of desire. A designed timber corset further highlights Adam's submission.
The film, shot on gorgeous 16mm, takes a sex-positive and holistic approach to sensuality. It suggests that restricting desires alienates individuals from the natural world and its exhilarating offerings.
