PSYCHO-SEXUAL THOUGHTS

Director: Bálint Bagossy

Producer: Mónika Mécs

Production company: M&M Film studio

Country: Hungary

This film’s dramaturgy is based on the dramaturgy of a female orgasm. It is not fake!

Synopsis:

Inspired by Milán Füst’s book of essays of the same title, Psycho-Sexual Thoughts is an episodic feature film in which characters in five different locations, at five different stages of their lives, talking about sexuality and relationship problems. First, we witness the dialogue between a young boy and his coach in a swimming pool where they are watching the synchronized swimmers’s exercise, later we see the sex struggles of a couple of activist lovers in the office of the university they occupy, and then the car breakdown of a family returning from holiday brings to the surface the relationship conflicts they have been suppressing. In the fourth scene, a man at the end of the midlife crisis makes the last confession of love of his life to an infinitely repulsive woman, and finally, an exhausted old couple in the desert try to recall their last sexual encounter together without success. Although, unlike the essay of Milán Füst’s, the film would not offer a solution to the problems of sexuality, it would hopefully help the viewer in discussing these taboo themes.
