Prince of the pansexual romp, Araki (Mysterious Skin) delivers another quirky, entirely bizarre dark comedy that’s part David Lynch, part Glee and all about sex. Smith and Stella are slightly bored, terminally hip students, exploring the range of sexual possibilities with a host of vaudeville characters both male and female. But rather than a gritty comment on blank teenage alienation, Araki goes instead way out left field and introduces a cast of sci-fi oddballs into the equation, supernatural pig-masked characters that are out to get Smith, inject intrigue into the plot and ruin the day. Or not. Full marks to Araki for his wild imagination, glorious cult-status melodrama and a no-he-didn’t, compulsive ending…
