Bạn có bao giờ gặp một người nào đó làm cho cơ thể bạn nóng bừng lên, trở nên hồi hộp và đổ mồ hôi một chút, và làm cho phần dưới của bạn khuấy động một chút? Sexual Tension: Volatile sẽ làm sống lại những cảm giác dục tính đó khi nó đan kết sáu kinh nghiệm đàn ông bốc lửa ở nhiều mức độ khỏa thân khác nhau và nhiều hình thức của quan hệ nam gợi tình. Bộ phim là một dạo chơi ly kỳ tràn đầy dục tính rộn ràng...
REVIEW BY BRANDON NOWALK
A step above Cinemax, Sexual Tension: Volatile consists of six unconsummated shorts that live in the tension between the pizza delivery and the bedroom. A couple are about guys who aren't even bicurious, just straight bros whose intimacy is supposed to arouse. I'm all for ogling men, but whatever insights the directors have into same-sex crushing are necessarily limited to the other four. Only Marco Berger's "The Cousin" features a mutual attraction, and it's by far the most revealing, especially in a scene where an accidental touch is exaggerated to monumental proportions. Whatever the scene was about, something on the computer, suddenly this touch steals all its attention. A shot of the boys adjusting so they're even closer. A shot of the boys glancing around to make sure the situation reads normally. A shot of the other boy none the wiser. That is closet life.
Between this and Ausente, Berger makes a pretty good case that the closet keeps men from finding romantic and sexual fulfillment with each other. But that's what curdles the straight-guy scenes. Those are the only ones with happy endings, two buds solidifying their bond and preparing to go have sex with their girlfriends. It's the liberation not of coming out but of heteronormativity. We get it, Berger. You like young guys in loose briefs. Here, have an award for emerging gay talent.
