Glasgow Film Festival The Little Death

Let’s talk about sex, shall we? Actor turned director Josh Lawson’s controversial first feature lifts the lid on the hidden desires that flourish behind the white picket fence of respectable suburban Sydney. One couple’s recourse to role playing gets way out of hand. One woman can only achieve orgasm when her distressed partner weeps. One wife yearns for her husband to make her rape fantasy a reality. Even the latest addition to the neighbourhood has his own little secrets. Breaking taboos and crossing the line of acceptability, The Little Death is a bold, hilarious debut feature that really hits the spot.
