Shortbus: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

The second revolves around James, an amateur filmmaker and former [[Hooker with a Heart of Gold|hustler]] who is [[Loners Are Freaks|morose and introverted]]. He and his boyfriend, Jamie, begin an open relationship with a third man, while a fourth, named Caleb, [[Stalker with a Crush|stalks James from his apartment one block over]]. The film James has been working on [[Goodbye, Cruel World|turns out to have an unpleasant surprise]]...

While ''Shortbus'' has largely been overshadowed by ''[[Hedwig and The Angry Inch~~|Hedwig~~]]'', it remains a quirky and off-beat flick with its own merits. If nothing else, [[It's Not Porn, It's Art|it has lots and lots of sex in it]].
