A Funny Kind of Love (aka The Little Death, to giveit the original Australian title) is a truly original comedy about sex, love, relationships and taboo.
In a multi-story narrative, we peer behind the closed doors of a seemingly normal suburban street. A woman with a dangerous fantasy and her partners struggle to please her. A man who begins an affair with his own wife without her knowing anything about it. A couple struggling to keep things together after a sexual experiment spins out of control. A woman who can only find pleasure in her husband’s pain. A call centre operator caught in the middle of a dirty and chaotic phone call. And the distractingly charming new neighbour who connects them all.
The film is written and directed by Josh Lawson, who also stars alongside Bojana Novakovic, Damon Herriman, Stephanie May and Tasneem Roc.
A Funny Kind of Love is released in UK cinemas tomorrow and explores why do we want what we want? How far will we go to get it? What are the consequences of that fleeting moment of sexual ecstasy?
