What Does a Sympathetic Portrayal of Sexual Assault on Screen Look Like?

Momo Sakura stars in a production that strips away the costumes and the "teasing" schoolgirl acts for something much more raw. Driven by pure instinct and a desperate need for pleasure, Momo transitions from a professional performer to a woman losing herself in the moment. This isn't a scripted drama; it’s a high-energy session where she demands the best physical connection without the need for romance or "love." The film focuses on her single goal of being filled up, capturing her as she becomes a "beast of pleasure" in relentless scenes that just don't stop until she is completely satisfied.

With mismatched eyes, a willingness to experiment with hair color and style, and a rail thin frame, Bowie always drew attention. But he shunned gendered attractiveness, creating his own space somewhere in between. This hallucinatory and often nonlinear 2022 documentary is a perfect salute to David Bowie’s life and career. Rather than interviewing those that knew Bowie, the standard convention for biographical portraits, director Brett Morgen mostly lets the artist’s images, performances, videos, and words speak to capture the essence of the artist. Bowie was more than just a pop star. He painted, sculpted, acted in films, and was a thoughtful and articulate person who gave sincere answers to even the most shallow interview questions.
