The Little Death / 20146.65 voti

La petite mort è un'espressione idiomatica della lingua francese, tradotta letteralmente in inglese, che indica uno stato di incoscienza post-orgasmico nel quale possono cadere alcuni soggetti in particolare di sesso femminile. La locandina del film dà semplicemente l'accezione "an orgasm", schietta e catchy come il disegno delle due mani. La pellicola in questione, in realtà, più che una "comedy about sex" è una "comedy about communication about sex", dove anzi la comunicazione non diventa problematica soltanto quando si affronta l'argomento tabù par excellence, quello sessuale appunto, ma incespica un po' dappertutto quando si toccano i temi del rapporto uomo/donna nel film (cioè sempre).

Even now, in times of an ubiquitous sexualisation of everyday life, the female orgasm continues to remain a mystery. In the documentary essay LA PETITE MORT, women of different ages and with different sexual preferences share how they experience orgasms, describe what it feels like and open up about a failed climax. Removed from pornography and excessive eroticism, they open up in indirect conversation with director-narrator Annie Gisler, who illustrates the sensual narratives of her protagonists with poetic, abstract and metaphorical images. Driven by the desire to overcome taboos and expectations that still overshadow female sexuality, the young Swiss filmmaker provides a sensitive and humorous examination of feminine intimacy in all its multifaceted richness. A dialogue among women, for women. And men.
