"Whenever you manage, through cinema, to cast doubt on the assumed nature of things, you might be approaching something really interesting. And when you have done that once, there's no way back."

For many years, Esther Perel has been saying, " Sex isn't something you do; it's a place you go." So far, so good. Absolutely! Sex isn't a "doing" thing, it's a "being" thing. I've been saying this for years. But I've also been adding to her quote: "Sex isn't something you do; it's a place you go. Hopefully together." Because sometimes one person goes to that place and leaves the other behind. There's a disconnection. And that's a problem.
