Ira Sachs’ Queer Love Triangle ‘Passages’ Has the Hottest Sex at Sundance
Something peculiar was happening in Park City, Utah, following the Sundance Film Festival premiere screening of Passages. By the droves, people were running out of the theater and diving headfirst into snow drifts. In lieu of immediate access to a cold shower, this was the audience’s best recourse.
Passages had two of the hottest sex scenes I’ve ever had the uncomfortable, yet also incredibly titillating pleasure of watching on a massive screen in the company of several hundred strangers. One was between a man and a woman. The other between two men. They were both so, so good.
Of course Passages, the wonderful, sparks-filled new film by Ira Sachs (Love Is Strange, Keep the Lights On) is about so much more than the sex. But also, it’s so much about the sex!
