In the vein of groundbreaking films like Shortbus and 9 Songs comes Sex Stories, a lighthearted exploration of the many pleasures, quirks, and follies that inhabit people`s sex lives. Two lively dinner parties unfold - one for a group of female friends, the other for their male counterparts. At each soiree, the conversations quickly delve into the characters` recent sexual escapades. With comic subtlety, the film captures the many contrasting views about what it means to be a good lover. Director Ovidie is knows and an intello du X (intellectual of the X) in her home country of France, and her expertise shines in Sex Stories. Just be warned: you may be craving a cigarette by the time the credits roll.
