Directed by Gregg Araki (whose 2007 comedy Smiley Face inspired the Brat album cover, don't you know!) and written by Araki and Karley Sciortino (of Slutever fame), I Want Your Sex is a darkly funny erotic satire.
It tells the story of Elliot (Cooper Hoffman), a kind-hearted if unmotivated twenty-something whose fantasies quickly come true when he lands a job with renowned artist and provocateur Erika Tracy (Olivia Wilde).
When Erika breaks down office boundaries and takes Elliot on as her sexual muse and subordinate, their sexually charged relationship makes him question his own desires, boundaries, and relationships with his uptight girlfriend (Charli XCX) and repressed roommate (Chase Sui Wonders).
As the stakes heighten and power dynamics shift, the film mixes satire, romantic comedy, mystery, and murder through the colourful and edgy visual language for which Araki is best known.
