Five independent scenes featuring common topics and emotions, where sex provides the characters with a both intense and non-transferrable experience.
A worthy successor of the Marquis de Sade –one of his veiled influences, along with French avant-garde poetry and the films of Robert Bresson–, Dennis Cooper is one of the most controversial contemporary writers. His novels, which usually star very young homosexual males immersed in a downward spiral of drugs, rape, incest and necrophilia, tend to be a collection of punches designed to impact the reader, with alienation as their permanent subject matter. There’s Closer, Frisk and Try, the striking “George Miles Cycle,” as proof. Like Cattle… kicks off from a script written by himself –which was previously thought for a porn movie– and delves deep into his universe: five stories with characters that cross paths with sex –confusing, problematic, explicit– as an excuse. A strong experience, as Cooper’s work usually is. PC
