FOURPLAY-Tales of sexual intimacy-The New Film by Kyle Henry w/Dir Q+A
"Outfest's standout world premiere"-Indiewire
"Despite a long tradition of moral hand-wringing, American film has essentially always been conservative. A square-jawed man will meet a full-lipped woman. His schlubby pal will give sage advice. Somewhere along the way our hero will give into temptation. Then danger or shenanigans, it ends up the same an endlessly repeated mimeograph of mainstream values. Perhaps that is why almost 10 years after Chloë Sevigny dropped jaws in The Brown Bunny, Kyle Henry's Fourplay still seems shocking. Leads can debase themselves but they're not supposed to enjoy it, right?
When contrasted against that Hollywood norm, Fourplay can be jarring. Henry's experimental feature is made up of four vignettes, named after the cities they were shot in, that not only tease the joy out of humanity's basest acts, but find spirituality in them, too. The film tempts outrage by exploring private acts that major studios are afraid to touch: A church choir member overcomes repression with the help of a frisky bichon frisé. A cross-dressing sex worker finds transcendence with a quadriplegic john. Baptism is sudden and viscous."-The Austin Chronicle
