LOVER: A Beautiful Video Showing Real Sexual Intimacy
I recently stumbled upon this heart-breakingly gorgeous video created by Will Hoffman and Julius Metoyer. The pair set out to show true intimacy expressed between real couples during sex.
In an interview with Nowness, the pair writes,
“Sex scenes in narrative films are always so-so, and porn is just on a whole other level of insincerity. We wanted to make a film that wasn’t about watching sex, but instead, triggered memories of the way you felt when emotionally surrendered with a partner. That moment where you let go of judgment or self-consciousness and just open yourself up to impulse and desire.”
The emotion that the film manages to pack into just over two minutes is astounding. Prepare to be floored!
