Black and White and Sex (2012)

B+W+S is an Aussie drama that lays bare the problems inherent in subscribing to accepted notions of sex via a scripted, fake interview with a Sex Worker. It’s the story of Angie; she’s many women but she’s one woman. Angie is the voice of chaos, reason and experience; she's a magnificent contradiction. She’s the focus of a filmmaker who wants to understand why she does what she does, but Angie asks the question why the filmmaker does what he does. Are they so different? It’s a power play of give and take, of exposure and concealment like the sexual act itself.
Films like this don't come along very often.
