Description
New York Premiere
This delicious comedy-thriller from legendary queer auteur Gregg Araki (THE DOOM GENERATION) that toys with kinky dynamics, workplace boundaries, and the absurdity of the contemporary art world. When fresh-faced Elliot (Cooper Hoffman) lands an exciting job for renowned artist and provocateur Erika Tracy (Olivia Wilde, firing on all cylinders), his fantasies come true as Erika taps him to become her sexual muse. But Elliot soon finds himself out of his depth as Erika takes him on a journey more profound than he ever could have imagined, into a world of sexuality, obsession, power, betrayal and murder.
Araki brings out brilliantly spunky performances from Wilde and Hoffman, alongside an exuberant ensemble that includes Mason Gooding, Chase Sui Wonders, Daveed Diggs, and Charli xcx.
“Iconic writer/director Gregg Araki assembles a fully-game ensemble to make his tantalizing and triumphant return with this starry, sex-and-fun-filled romp that targets the hypocrisy of the art world, the generational sensuality divide, and the power of letting loose. I WANT YOUR SEX is part satire, part neo-noir, and absolutely full-on Araki in all his auteurist glory.” –Nick McCarthy (Director of Programming)
