Shortbus

John Cameron Mitchell's follow-up to Hedwig and the Angry Inch may be packed with explicit sex, but at its (hard) core it's a story about such sure-fire middle-American values as love, devotion, commitment and listening to your heart. Still, it is pretty raunchy, featuring all manner of acrobatically inspired gay and straight shenanigans, it's funny, intelligent and kinda sad. Featuring an ensemble array of disaffected Manhattanites seeking spiritual sustenance through sexual abandon.
