Shortbus, seems quite like Woody Allen's 'What's Up Pussycat' in its theme. Whilst tracking the sexual liberation of relationship therapist Sofia and the people she associates with, we are drawn into the confused and sad minds of those who hide their problems behind their sexual exploits. Either they are seeking their first orgasm or seeking emotional attachment. Whilst a deep film about human problems, presented often in comic ways, this is one of the most sexually explicit films ever shown on general release.
