you have to care for it to keep it together.

John Cameron Mitchell's Shortbus won't likely stray from the strangely sexual, aesthetically pleasing yet harmlessly unsettling themes that made Hedwig & The Angry Inch a cult phenomenon. One major difference, however, is that the music (while it still may have an integral part of the film) is not sung by Shortbus' characters. In fact, Team Love will release the soundtrack in November, and it will boast already cherished songs from Azure Ray, The Hidden Cameras, Yo La Tengo, Animal Collective, Gentleman Reg, The Ark, Scott Matthew, and more. I can't imagine the buzz about the movie will stop for quite a while. Even I'm quite interested based on two statements alone from Eye Weekly and Variety.
"...plays like Woody Allen's Manhattan with money shots..."
"Unquestionably the most sexually graphic American narrative feature ever made outside the porn industry."
Well hell, maybe the soundtrack will be the least enjoyable aspect of the movie. Well...
See more about Shortbus here and enjoy some original songs for the film by Scott Matthew on his MySpace.
