Directed by Steve Balderson, A narcissistic college professor whose sexual fascination with his own body leads him to down a path of increasingly disturbed behavior. Forsaking priests and others who lust for him, Barrows soon pays a high price for his excessive self-love.
Writer/director John Cameron Mitchell (director of the cult classic Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)) brought his second arthouse feature film this “most explicit” or sexually-graphic film ever screened; it also had the widest release of any film showing unsimulated sex, although it was encased within a non-pornographic dramatic narrative about emotionally-challenged post 9/11 New Yorkers searching for sexual happiness and self-discovery; this highly controversial film – named for the underground sex salon (“for the gifted and challenged”) in the unrated film, contained unsimulated, hardcore images of sexual intercourse (gay and straight), masturbation, a dominatrix sex whipping, an orgy scene and a gay menage a trois scene (with oral sex).
