Sex And Water (Documentary)

I feel much better after having read that this documentary was actually done as a school experiment project, because trust me when I saw this, I had all kinds of questions and concerns in my mind. The idea is actually pretty straight forward. Of the many sexual hook ups that we as gay men have, who many of those have actually left a memorable impression on you that you very clearly remember the entire situation to the complete detail. To explore this further, our documentarian interviews an older gay couple, who take him through their individual experiences in 50s as closet gay men; how they met some guys and even taking him through the details of those sexual encounters. Towards the second half, we also hear the story of how they met, feel in love and are still together.

Told through flashbacks and also with dramatization of their sexual encounter stories, the documentary does make for an interesting watch, but I also feel that what is the point behind. it. We are not told why this specific couple was chosen, what was special about them? I mean all of us gay men probably have all kinds of hook up stories that have left a very memorable experience, good or bad, but that detail was not told to us. Also the documentarian himself was the most boring interviewer ever. He has no charm or charisma or doesn't know hat to say, how to react or anything. He should just not have come in front of the camera. Thankfully, the runtime of this is short and can breeze through it easily. In a nutshell, it is a sweet story, presented as a documentary with cinematic flashbacks to show the stories of the couple's experiences. (3.5/10)
